OK. This comment is just too big a stretch of logic to be comprehended by anyone except a star-gazing liberal completely divorced from reality. Just what in the world does sending the physically inferior gender in to combat have to do with showing their faces or learning? You've obviously never been in the military where there is enough trouble dealing with the male "eight-balls" to even consider having to deal with a bunch of women.
Women POWs can be used to great advantage by the enemy by letting the male POWS hear them scream. Women can be the greatest help to any military action by staying home and giving fightiong men a reason to keep on fighting.
If pitiful Patsy Schroeder, however, wants to be in combat that bad, I suppose I wouldn't object too much. What is your gender, anyway? I get the impression that you really want to weaken the US military for some reason.
