If the United States and other major powers did not employ women in combat in World War I or II, why would they need women in combat now? Caring about women means not putting them in harm’s way unnecessarily.
PC has its hooks in us so deep that a significant portion of our population (just short of a majority) has lost its basic common sense. The unfortunate truth is that we will need a near apocalyptic disaster, major war loss or severe economic depression to bring our Society back to reality.
For a while, I thought 9/11 did the trick. But, 17 years later, we have only gotten crazier.
The Russians did in WWII with excellent results.
To the best of my knowledge as snipers only.
See the book and/or movie, "Enemy at the Gates".
“...why would they need women in combat now?”
To provide apron strings for the SoiBoys to hang onto in order to follow them into combat?
Remember the Russian female snipers ...
