"The reason the debate has grown old to me is that it usually gets too heated and rational thought flies out the window."

Fair enough.

I'd like to suggest that some of the emotionalism that come from the no women in combat crowd is a symptom of their justification - that most men become irrationally hot headed when they see a pretty little teenage girl get gang raped to death (or almost to death as I assume was the case with Jessica). I think it's something ingrained into their nature and I don't think they're prepared to work to get rid of it. Therefore, it's risk on the battlefield, and a burden to try to minimize.
