Women shouldn't be in combat for a multitude of reasons, this just being one of them. No matter how far stretched out national morality slips, women dying, being murdered and/or raped in a war zone will never be acceptable by the general population. As it should be though. Regardless of what some lesbians, I mean women's rights advocates think, women are suppose to have a softer gentler appeal to them in all aspects of life. Not saying they're less effective than a man in any way, just that their abilities are tapped from a less authorative social view that actually gives them more of an upper hand against men in most, if not all, situations. Leave war to men as that is acceptable. Women are a prize to be cherished in the world of men, not brought down to a man's level.
