Putting women in combat (like putting them on a police force) is paying full price for a 50% capable soldier. In war it is done as a desperate attempt to stave off defeat. Even with all men we haven’t won a war since WWII. If we can’t get enough men to fill the ranks, we should institute a lottery of males to fill the gap, not using women.
