"Hand to hand combat is nearly a thing of the past in the military, where as on the streets, it can be an everyday occurrence. That's why I said, If they can be cops, they can be drafted into the army.

There is much more time and emphasis on hand-to-hand (incl. bayonets) combat training and training with various kinds of weapons in combat specialties. There have been quite a few trials with women in combat specialties in various armies of the world (including our own). Those did not work out. The differences in such trials are apparent on the first day. And remember that you mentioned physical engagement.

"BTW, have you ever served in the military?"

I've done both.

What every your point is you're wrong. Again, the chances of females having to *physically* engage with people/criminals in law enforcement is *much* greater than would be in the military." I am speaking in general term here, not specialty crap.

You see, in the military, you generally just shoot your opponent. There is little rolling around having a punch out in the military with the enemy. Didn't say it doesn't happen, but in law enforcement, it can happen *every night*.

This is not even debateable.
