it should be a matter of who can best handle the fire. The idea of turning away anyone away from any facet of the army who wants to join is kind of weird to me, with the exception of people who would be a burden or a danger to their unit.
women are fragile and must be protected from the harsh realities of war
something I understand. But I could have sworn I heard something about women who wanted to have an equal combat role but were denied, and thats what I'm not sure about
I was being a little sarcastic...although after watching the Jessica Lynch fiasco 2 years ago, I have to say that the idea women can fight as well as men is a little absurd.
