ELVERUM, Norway — An explosion just a few feet away rocks the unmarked station wagon as it travels along a dirt road in the Norwegian woodland.
Immediately, two soldiers jump from their front seats and run for cover behind the carcass of an old, rusty tank. Firing their weapons at targets along the snow-covered hillside, they call for support from the rest of their unit.
This firefight is just a drill, but the soldiers taking part are battling to break down one of the final barriers to women serving in the armed forces. They are training to become part of Norway's Jegertroppen or "Hunter Troops" — the world's first all-female military special forces unit.

I agree 100%...but you wait til it happens then see.
Don't sell these women short, they may hand you your private parts if you smirk too much...
I was trying to say that emergency medical treatment isn’t one of the issues involved. Opposite-sex medical treatment is practically the norm everywhere in N. America & Europe. Don’t let it distract from the real issues.
“PMS Posse??”
Tactical Women’s Assault Team.
Tactical Women’s Assault Team.
I thought it was “Tactical Women’s Alert Team”......

Bullshit.
"Charlie's Angels" were the first.
“I thought it was “Tactical Women’s Alert Team”......”
“Alert” is just Indications and Warning. “Assault” means, well, Assault.
(...and I did lift it from Cheech & Chong.)
Probably better than the rest of the Euroweenies
Look...they would be perfect for ambushing....no pun intended...who will think that a group of ladies could carry out a coordinated lethal attack in certain situations...think hostage rescue...surrogate hostage exchange..mall security...stewardii on airplanes...and now a small joke....black friday merchandise acquisitiom...they could be very useful...maybe the norwegian men arent volunteering for such hazardous duty
LOL. There you go.
You make the same foolish mistake so many people do, you seem to think we are the enemies they have to conqueror.
We aren't. We are their natural allies.
The people they have to overcome have thousands of generations of learned cunning, much greater inbred upper body strength, and have been in the business of war far longer.
They will be killed by superior forces if they ever find themselves in battle.
Ya, opposite sex treatment is fairly common and depending on what’s being treated, it might be preferable to have the opposite sex do it. There are some things I don’t like men doing.
What the Hell was that???
front line comfort girls...
Sorry to sprinkle on the parade, but the North Koreans have had all-woman “sniper” platoons for many years.
Even given the same training with the same unit, I still doubt that more than maybe a couple of dozen women nationwide would be as effective as the majority of male-only special forces teams in a real-world mission scenario. Women aren’t built for the endurance PLUS heavy loads carried behind enemy lines. I jumped into Panama with a 100+ lb. ruck, in addition to a weapon, canteens, LBE and parachute. One or more of the special Forces A-team members that HALO’d into Iraq (Desert Shield) had close to a 150 lb. ruck. There is a difference between able to work sunup to sundown on a farm, and running for your life behind enemy lines with gear, as the psychological stressors aren’t the same.

Yes! “Space 1999’’ Babes in silver lamae suits and purple hair. I’d hit it BIG TIME!
Damnit, Tonto, I said ‘posse’!
