No, they’d get on each other’s nerves and start fighting among themselves. And what would you do with them once they’re on the battlefield, and the PMS is over and replaced by periods, and you run out of sanitary napkins due to a logistical SNAFU. Best to keep women out of combat. They have other important skill sets. But bayonetting enemy troops and throwing grenades at them, or strafing them with .50 caliber rounds from the side of a helicopter, is a man’s job.
We need to create a super soldier serum, and give it to Ukrainian troops, creating Captain Ukraine with a blue and yellow shield, who can kick the Russian Bear’s a@@. What good is a proxy war, if you can’t perform mad scientist experiments on your proxies./joking
Just saw your post go by and am feeling the need to insert a slight technical nitpick.
Firing from the side of a helicopter would be with a .30 cal, not a .50 cal, since .50 cal is considered unsporting against human targets. The typical machine gun fired that way is an M60 which is .308 caliber or 7.62mm.
Okay, you may now resume your regularly scheduled programming...
“Take that hill!”
“YOU take that hill!”
“What’s your problem?!?”
“Oh, I think you know what the problem is!”
