In my experience in the USAF honestly the sex of the person made little difference there where woman that where just as good at the job which in my case was mechanical as any man.There where both men and women that where good and ones that sucked for one reason or another.As to the whole psychical strength part I think many only get half the picture there are plenty of males in the military that could not meet the requirements but simply had their buddy lie for them and say they did x amount of x in order to pass.I don't think it is a political thing to have allowed women in the military in fact after they stopped the draft and went to all volunteer they knew that they would not get enough males so they wisely choose back then to allow women to do 90% of the military jobs.

And to be honest the whole capture situation is silly to the truth is if they want to they will make you talk to some extent this fact was proven during Vietnam where most of the POWs did say something but you cant really blame them when you consider the things done to them.As a matter of fact they actually changed the code of conduct after Vietnam because some men died because they refused to talk and died from the torture the US military felt this was a waste of life because there was no information they could have given that would have been of much value.Also in the modern military only a very small amount of troops are ever in real danger so if your job is to be a mechanic or a radio operator something like this you are never going to see combat anyway.

The Soviets used so many women because they needed the manpower er human power that they provided modern armed forces have women for the same reason they need the manpower that they provide the US will never go back to the draft short of a world ending event occurring and there simply are not enough people willing to join the military as is right now women included to be honest if we did not have women right now wed have a much weaker military simple truth we need them like it or not.

"Or bring back the draft with no exemptions. That way, war would not be such an easy option for our fascist warmongering government. I want some congressmans sons to die in these endeavors, more than anything." that is never going to happen and you know it.

GoldenRivet has a nice idea ridding the world of war but we human beings have a long way to go before we get to that point if we ever do.
