Fact of the matter is that in other nations women have been in combat. Israel and the Old Soviet Union certainly come to mind and the Soviets had women in the front lines during W.W. II.
Now as to what privacy these women have had and/or have in other nations I don't know.

I think the problem here stems from our own culture and expectations and the way our Army and Navy are run to begin with.

I have reservations on just how women will work out in combat situations. If our recent experience is any indication, especially the co-ed situation in the Navy with the accusations of over the top sexual encounters not to mention pregnancies, I really don't see how this can work.

Anyone remember Demi Moore's film of several years ago “G I Jane”. What a movie for Political Correctness, little ahead of it's time but now here we are.

Now the question is when will we have women in the SEALS???

Not long. The Joint Chiefs have already said there will be women in the SEALS.
