Any nation that will send it’s women to fight on the front lines is a dead nation.
The Soviets did it only after the German Army was in 50 miles of its capitol. Even then, the front line of the Red Army was 99 % male. Women were mostly snipers and such.
“All societies are based on rules to protect pregnant women and young children. All else is surplus age, excrescence, adornment, luxury or folly which can—and must—be dumped in emergency to preserve this prime function. As racial survival is the only universal morality, no other basic is possible. Attempts to formulate a “perfect society” on any foundation other than “women and children first!” is not only witless, it is automatically genocidal. Nevertheless, starry-eyed idealists (all of them male) have tried endlessly—and no doubt will keep on trying.”

...the other night I saw a female officer on O’reilly debating this topic...against a guy who spent three quarters of his limited time telling us how much he admired said female officer...she made the point that women’s standards would be no more lessened than for older and weaker males...and BO and his other guest said nothing...I wish someone would have said this to her: OK, let’s say you are a military advisor for, say, Alexander the Great, and you say to him “Prior to going into battle agaisnt a foe vowing destruction upon you, you should infuse your finest fighting men with older, weaker men, in order that opportunity for glory falls equally on all” ...I think he would have had her killed.
...Yet that’s essentially exactly what she argued for...without the slightest indication that she realized the idiocy of that argument...and neither did her debate ‘opponent’, who was too busy telling us how wonderful women are, so worried was he about seeming a bully...
