One of my daughters will be going into the Navy in July...One of my sons was part of a tank crew in the army...Although I can picture my son in combat, I will personally put the hurt on anyone who harms my daughter, whether it be at home, in Iraq or any given space station...

Aside from that, women have faster reflexes and the lack of physical strength is overcome by technology these days...(I don't know if tanks have power steering) I know women drive bull dozers and operate cranes...

I only question one thing and that is whether the average female can acquire the "kill the enemy and survive" characteristic that is necessary for face to face combat...

Bullcrap.

I'm 6'5" 220 lbs and have never seen a woman outside of these boxing gals on TV that I know I could crush quickly.

You are dreaming.

Amazonian myth.
