There are two countries on the globe that have employed female soldiers in combat units
Today NEITHER country puts females into front line combat units.

Good post, thanks.

We have such well informed "experts" today that the lessons of history are no longer applicable.

"That men do not learn very much from the lessons of history is the most important of all the lessons that History has to teach”

-- Aldous Huxley

[DuncanWaring]

As it will be in the future, it was at the birth of Man
There are only four things certain since Social Progress began.
That the Dog returns to his Vomit and the Sow returns to her Mire,
And the burnt Fool’s bandaged finger goes wabbling back to the Fire;

And that after this is accomplished, and the brave new world begins
When all men are paid for existing and no man must pay for his sins,
As surely as Water will wet us, as surely as Fire will burn,
The Gods of the Copybook Headings with terror and slaughter return!

— Rudyard Kipling
