Can we stop The “women in combat” phrasing. The issue isn’t women in combat, it is women in COMBAT UNITS. Women are pilots, run convoys, defend their base camps. The issue is women in an infantry squad or tank crew. the IDF has a coed battalion THE LIONS OF JORDAN.
I understand the distinction you make, I simply don’t think it is significant.
Especially since women in combat units is the end goal, in my opinion, and the Israelis abandoned that a long time ago.
