Women are meant to carry life and bring it into the world. Oh , no doubt they can kill, but its not in their basic nature to do so, it has to be learned in most cases.

I will mourn the day our women are commanded into full combat.It desecrates women, and is hardly necessary. We have plenty of able bodied straight men and queers to spare.

Only the Israelis have pulled off combat roles for women, simply beause they are dedicated, patriotic, and necessary, and women come from all over the world to serve there.Not entirely so in our country.IMHO that butchers bill would be too high to pay.

The Israelis do NOT put women in combat roles. See my post #18 and the linked article. Israeli women are the trainers and do support functions, but they are not sent into combat. They do get combat TRAINING, because in the final extreme they will be the ones defending the children if the Arabs break through the Israeli lines.

No, they tried that in '48, didn't work out well. Women serve in support roles, some of them in combat support and some in training men for combat roles, such as armored vehicle driver and gunner.

Israeli women are given training to defend themselves. That’s are far as it goes.

Israeli women are not on frontline combat units. They are on the home reserve.
