I am well aware of the soviet history I just have higher aspirations for my country. One can always find women who are more capable than some men to serve in combat roles. That's not the point. The point is what one does in general and in general men are more suited.

Believe me, in a rifle company or paratroop unit, no way. As a chopper pilot or logistics, they can be there any time. If there were enough men to fill the boots, there wouldn't be a need for this many ladies in uniform. Until the p*ss**s who pass themselves off as liberal men, decide to leave their Journalism 101 classes or their burger flipping jobs and defend their nation instead of getting stoned or doing those club drugs, I'll take a woman like Jessica Lynch by my side any day.
