Part of the reason they push women in combat is to deligitimise combat altogether. Westerners will never be wholly comfortable with women in combat so long as there are sufficient men to do the job. Protection of the women is part of why men go into the armed services.

Protection of the women is part of why men go into the armed services.Not part of why I went into the armed services. It was entirely a thing between my Dad and me. No one I met during my 20 entered for that reason either. Most wanted adventure.

It is hard to answer intelligently the question, 'Why I want to be a soldier.' For my own satisfaction I have tried to give myself reasons but have never found any logical ones. I only feel that it is inside me. It is as natural for me to be a soldier as it is to breathe and would be as hard to give up all thought of being a soldier as it would be to stop breathing.
