So is Molly Pitcher, Mad Ann Bailey, and Deborah Sampson.
Your exclusion of women from fighting is a form of political correctness. You've set a standard, and you don't want anyone to deviate from it. Well Americans don't fit "standards." My 79 year-old mother said to me the other day that she wanted a rifle, she was so angry at the Baathist tactic of sending women and children in front of suicide bombers.
Joan of Arc may be dead, but not before she destroyed thousands of enemy troops. She once said that her banner was more important than her sword, and when she held it up, her troops were fearless.
I don't like the idea of women being killed in battle, and I'd rather they not fight myself. But when they insist, and when they meet standards, and when their units accept them, I think we should count ourselves lucky that fight they will.
