No, its not good.

In a whole book on this and othe rproblems ith the modenr military he points ats tatistics showing that women in the US military serving in no longer just desktop jobs are six times as often injured due to physical overload, as their male collegaues. He also showed that many women find it easy to dissapears from duty in times of war because they suddenly become prgnant when a call to arms is around the corner for their units.

He formulates it a bit rude in the linked article, but statistics are with him.

It already has been reported that the physical demands for female soldiers have been lowered in several western militaries.

No, Vendor, just because it is in line with political correctness this does not mean at all that it is good to have women in combat units. I used to think in past years it is nothing wrong, but I have u-turned on this issue. Too many solid arguments and statistics forced me to change my mind.

I recommend to read chapter III "The feminization of the armed forces" in van Creveld: "Pussycats. Why the Rest keeps beating the West, and what can be done about it".
