I'm sure that female soldiers can do the fighting almost as good as men, espicially in this day and age... However, I still think that no armies in the world should let women into combat, it just don't feel right...
by the way my mother was in the army, she was an army nurse. All her female army friends were also in some kind of support role in the army.....this is how it sould be.

I maybe "old fashion" but Eurofighter I agree with you 100%...No slight(disrespect) towards any women service members anywhere.

I remember I read somewhere in this forum, a woman pilot flying a Su-27 shot down a MiG-29. Isn't that a real example of female soldiers in real combat? To me, when wars come, men and women are the same.
Having worked with lots of women in the Australian Army, i must say they can take alot more pain than most men.... especially the ones who just came back from maternity leave. From my experience women also tend to do things better because they just seem to spend that tiny little bit more attention to detail. But if you have a women as your superior officer, you will be sad. No disrespect to women... so if there are any female members in this forumm please don't kill me.
I also agree with Mr C..female sailors that worked for me on shore were excellent because of a womens desire to get into details.
However I do not feel women should be put in combat situations...I once had a felame division officer. Not a pleasant experience..trust me...

this is kind of funny, but a while ago I had a discussion with a girl from the Dutch navy about the role of men and women in combat situations. she was furious when she learned that I am against the idea of putting women into actual combat. she told me that a women's life is not more valuable than a men's, so why should we exclude women from battles. To which I replied: if you could make me pregnant, then I will be happy to fight alongside you....
My point is this, men and women are not the same! like it or not, you have to draw the line somewhere, for me it is this: no women in the actual fighting...

Wow. To me that reeked of male chauvinism. So, just because a woman doesn't have a weewee, she is not entitled your respect?

I do not possess the slightest disrespect towards women in the militairy. hell, my mother was in the army....however, let a girl do the fighting is really not my cup of tea, I can't settle with that idea, it's just not right. I know that women can pull off the job (I got my ass kicked by a girl more than once), but still it's just not right........
well RedMercury is partially rigth, you are repeating to social prejuction that roses from tens of thousand years old tradition, that excludes women from battle field. While this subdivision had practical purposes in the days of shield and sword, modern society practically dismish all the socio-economical reasons and arguments that prevent women from operating in front line. Only dogmas and stubourn obinions remain, but those have little or no foundation in the realm of logic and reason.
Men and women are different, but none of the differences prevent women from taking arms. I have served with female soldiers (thougth in our regiment, they werent in our fire position battery, becouse the pure physical reasons; only thoughest of the human breed can survive in the gun-group...
) And I never sensed anything that indicated their unfitt to deal the demands of modern battle field. Experiences from abroad supports my hinch, and It was suprising, that in our regiments singal&HQ battery, some of the most skillfull NCOs and Reserve-Officer-students were actually women.
