It is impossible to eliminate the natural differences and natural attraction between the sexes. It is hallucinatory to believe there are not core differences between the way men and women think and act. It is also madness to deny the heightened testosterone levels characterizing men on the battlefield.

This in literally not rocket science, countless learned studies have examined the subject. My personal favorite accessible to everyone is Sex on the Brain, By Deborah Bloom. I am sure there are equivalents in every civilized country and language.

War should never be civilized, or constrained by 'Geneva Conventions,' which typically, one side or the other ignores totally, while the other chooses the "high ground" and disappears from the face of the earth. Logical? No. Rational? no. Eternal? Yes.

Speaking of the Geneva Convention, of which the US is a signatory, I am not sure if women in combat is in compliance.

As any divorced man in the US knows by now, women are just too damn mean for civilized combat!
