By the spring of 1945 about 20 percent of Soviet tanks had a women crew member, usually the tanks mechanic who also was the radio operator and hull machine gunner. In some cases, women commanded tanks. Also, Soviet artillery units had women on gun crews. While the Soviets did not assign women to infanty units as rilemen, they did serve in infantry units as medics, doctors and radio operators.
Nothing personal (because I do understand you are stating what may be a fact) but I cannot think of a weaker argument in favor of doing something like this than to point to the Soviet Union as an example to follow.
There is nothing that God forsaken country has ever done that I want my country to emulate, especially when it comes to matters dealing with women.
