I like to think I am fairly progressive when it comes to the role of women in society; but women DO NOT belong in combat.
BIG mistake.

Female soldiers eyed for combat; Army seeks end of 1994 ban... Call me old-fashioned, but women don't belong in combat. And as unpopular as this sentiment may be in this "modern age," I don't think they belong in the military either.
I suppose I'll get flamed for that, but what the hell. I call 'em the way I see 'em.

I don't want to see our daughters fighting on the front lines--they get into too many dangerous situations as it is, and I think their presence in a co-ed situation is extremely bad for morale and discipline. But you have to admit that the Muslim men would be even more anguished and humiliated at the idea of being destroyed by our little girls, whom they despise!

This sounds like a bad idea to me.

Hasn't this already caused enough problems? I believe women can serve their country well and honorably - but they should NOT be in the front as combat soldiers. IMHO it seems like another attmept to have a more sensitive war machine.

Drudge: Female soldiers eyed for combat; Army seeks end of 1994 ban...
Ah, those silly nillies in the DACOWITS. Given that Al Quaida has very publically offered a huge sum of money for the capture of a live FEMALE U.S. soldier, this might not be a real smart idea.

Bad Idea.......women were not created as men. From what I have seen (Aerovac Sys) from injuries that have occured in combat. Women's survival rate are not as good as a males. I also don't believe that the male counter parts want to deal with females in combat situations.

Ha ha, the liberal feminists who insist that women can do everything men can do now get to prove it.
Nice going--way to advance the cause of women.

Female soldiers eyed for combat; Army seeks end of 1994 ban... I don't believe having women in the military serves anyone's interests except the feminists.
In a combat situation I believe they'll do more harm than good. American men will pay with their lives if the women can't do the job.
Having said that, I also think that the only way to prove the feminists wrong, and to prove that most women make lousy soldiers, is to have them come home in body bags.
That may seem like an extreme view, but any female soldier that screws up in combat will have a PC officer cover her mistakes, and the public will never know about it. Body bags don't lie.

Combat Support means more truck drives, admin, mp's yada, yada, yada.
When they say they want to increase females in SF then worry!

If the Army is talking about combat support roles, doesn't that mean that they want to take
men out of
combat support and put them into
combat?
And, since the feminists are so enthusiastic about women in combat, would this not be a wonderful opportunity for them to shut up and put up, and enlist by the tens of thousands?

Female soldiers fought alongside male colleagues in Israel's War of Liberation, which ended in 1948. Because of the problems that this created, Israeli women never again were sent into battle. Explains military historian Edward N. Luttwak of the Washington, D.C.-based Center for Strategic and International Studies, who has written a book about the Israeli military: "Men moved to protect the women members of the unit instead of carrying out the mission of the unit."Luttwak adds that women are integrated into the Israeli military at many levels, and conduct most of the training. Women also serve in the Mossad, Israel's elite counter-terrorist force. But women are excluded, Luttwak notes, from infantry and other combat positions based on "the pragmatic experience of 40 years."
