I thought we were talking about men and women. Why do you keep bringing up race? What does that have to do with it? Are you equating racial differences with differences between the sexes???

Again, you are missing the point when you talk about women protecting men from combat. The point is that the most effective warriors should be sent to fight. You seem to be saying that everyone should have an equal right to die in war. If you don't realize how silly that sounds, I'm not sure what I could say to change your mind.

The best way to see prejudice is to use race. It makes it real clear.

Why the assumption that men are the most effective? The Israelis have used women quite effectively.

They should. It is only your sexist belief that makes it sound silly. Everyone should have an equal right to die just as everyone has an equal right to live. Forcing one sex to be the sole bearer of that ill fate is treating that sex as disposable.
