The Israelis require women to serve, and they seem to have no problem with it...
Israel is at the constant state of alert and they need every person who can carry a rifle they can find. America dont have that problem since we have a large pool of manpower.
That being said, There is a place for women in combat, as MPs, truck driver and chopper pilots.But front line duty should be left to men.
Sorry to all the women I offended.
Not in frontline combat units. The Israelis learned long ago from their experiment that that was a mistake they wouldn't repeat.
They don't allow into front line combat roles either. While women do learn to crew tanks and other fighting vehicles, they do so only in training units, training the men. I don't think they go as far in that direction as we do. Especially in the IAF as compared to the USAF for example. Women fly everything we've got with wings or rotors. They serve on most of our warships.
