Being in a combat zone and being slotted for ground combat operations are different activities.

I’ve seen some women do very well in convoy operations but given that patrols, ambushes, etc are not even something that most men can do well, I’d have to agree that it isn’t something women should be assigned to do.

How many women does it take to change a tire? I heard they now use 4 people to carry a litter when it used to only take two men. Just wondering.
