And is the best way to win a war to keep people who've proven they can fight from fighting just because we don't want their gender exposed to the horrors of war?

Others have tried to point out to you that to put females in combat situations is to defy human nature, and on many levels. It defies common sense.

You believe otherwise. To argue would be a waste of time for both of us.

I sincerely hope this administration reverses the military's (Clinton's) gender policy immediately following this war's successful conclusion.

No others have been insulting and rude. The only thing they pointed out was that they know a lot of insulting words. I am not impressed.

Yet another person claims tobe right but refuses to even attempt to prove his case. Let's try some simple questions here:
Why is it OK to put men in dangerous situations but not women?
How are women damaging unit cohesion?
Why should people that have proven they have the physical and mental skills to the same degree as men be allowed to apply those skills in the same way?

Those are the questions on the table. Those are the questions that nobody on this thread is willing to address with anything more intellectual than "you're dumb". War is a terrible thing and I don't want ANYONE subjected to it, but this world doesn't care what I want. So long as we're going to have to fight wars we should field the best personel we have, period, regardless of gender. Being a woman doesn't make someone not the best.
