A country that sees nothing wrong with sending women into combat is a country detached from what it means to be human.
I sort of agree. My niece was an Army nurse in Mosul. She came home with PTSD after seeing horrifically burned bodies and such in the emergency room. Then she got a civilian job, got married, had children. She is overly protective of her kids and still has nightmares of war. A woman who is going to be carrying and nurturing life should perhaps not see horrors like this. She should be protected from this. It is important for her family’s well-being, not only her own.
Agreed!! I know of a man who was wounded during a heavy enemy attack in Afghanistan. A female teammate threw herself on top of him to protect him. She remained there throughout the fight. While she was lauded for her actions, from a tactical standpoint not was just one weapon neutralized by the enemy but 2 were now out of the fight while the entire unit was in jeopardy of being overrun. It appears to me that female natural instincts are not always the same as men’s.

My grandfather made that statement 20 years ago. He was a captain in the infantry in France in 1918. He has horrible nightmares was the war scarred him badly. He never spoke of his time over there.
He added that our country puts it male population this his kind of hell, why should we put the females through that also?
