CCIP sir. I see your point and am not minimizing the combat capibilities of a woman, war is a human instict. You are kinda comparing women defending the homeland to what I was comparing it to (imperialistic actions overseas, with no penalty to defeat, not like your losing your mother land), is women in aggressive combat situations far from home, for little sovereign gain to the agressors. (what is the US getting from Iraq and Afghanistan. China already bought the mineral fields we found in afghanistan.)

But the post below you by GoldenRivet illustrates my point, better than me.

What real man would let a woman be abused by savages, no matter how well trained they are, a mans paternal/protectionist instinct will take over, and can cost many lives in unecessary/vain bravado.

Please do not take me as being mysogynistic. But it is a fact men and women are built differently, it is this politically correct crap that forces us into eventual conundrums as GoldenRivet highlighted so well.
