As for combat, I think that as long as they can pass all the PT and boot camp on the same standards as males, then they've earned the right to go into combat.

Sorry to butt in but I believe that Missileer is right here. Women do have occasional relapses but most of the time they are as gung-ho as the next man. Im sure women could press the button. Ive seen it. I know that my AFJROTC class watched WarGames recently and the four female cadets in my class said,"TURN THE KEY! TURN THE KEY YOU DUMMY!' Where some of the male cadets were taking the side of the man who had the emotional conflict. I myself feel that the man should have turned it. My SASI told us that the fact is, all women(and men) who are in those bunkers have undergone strenuous psychological training and tests to check to see wether or not they would have those relapses you are talking about.Missileer said:Have you ever talked to some poor smuck who went through a divorce and came out looking like a homeless person? Women have a side to them that would scare the crap out of a Yeti.
If women want to go to war then let them, but they should be made to understand that they will have to pass the same courses as the men and carry the same loads. Also when you are in combat living in a trench there is not not a lot of room for privacy or personal time. Now a lot women went through hell in the forces or as spies during WW2 and they were never short of courage, mind you I have met one or two women I would not like meet in a dark alley.
