Do you see a "purpose" for a woman that keeps you from seeing her as a frontline warrior, or are you just talking about differences in physical strength?

or are you just talking about differences in physical strength?

Primarily the physical differences. However, I also believe that including women in combat units would have a definite impact on the dynamics of the units themselves. I'm sure we could figure out a way to train our soldiers to ignore gender, but would we want to? What would the long term impact of that philosophy be on our fighting forces?
