I think having all-female combat units would be a better idea. Just so the men don't mess up the plan by trying to do something heroic based on a primal imperative to defend the women.
Having all women combat units are unlikely, Britain learnt this with the Pals Battalions in WW1. When these units go into action then they can wiped out so the casualty rates will climb, it is always best for a good mix so that you never lose to many at once from one area and the same thing would apply to the women
Easy 8.....The black airmen did do a great job and had a fine record, but when you send an infantry Battalion over the top the losses can be horrific. In some towns in Britain by having all the locals in one Regiment every male was killed in WW1 from some of the towns between the age 17 to almost 70. I was walking around one of the WW1 graveyards in France and on the same day there were the graves of grandfather, the father and his sons three generations destroyed in a day. In WW2 they never allowed this happen again and they mixed up up the people from across the country so that to many people from area would not be all killed together on the same day. Now this is why I think that all women battalions would be wrong

plus in a aircraft it has been proven that a womans reflexes are way faster than a mans.
Well generally women have smaller hands, therefore it stands to reason that a smaller hand will fit a smaller gun better. But I personally know a 26 year old woman who can out
fly a combat aircraft computer.
Pardon my ignorance but how smart is this combat aircraft computer? :visor:
Women do not belong on the front lines, and I'll tell you why. Some of these reasons have already been stated, but bear with me, please.
1. Women as a whole are weaker than men, and sometimes you have to hump over 100 pounds of sh@!
2. Women (especially American) require certain hygeine considerations, which would be impossible to meet in a protracted combat situation. I dont think I need to get in depth here.
3. Women are a distractor, especially to a bunch of guys who've been isolated from women for months. Pretty soon, you've got a whole squad fighting over a chick, instead of fighting the enemy.
I don't think I need to go on. Women in the Army, sure. But keep them where they belong.
