French partisans and the Viet Kong but that was a matter of neccesity, life or death, I don't think we are at that stage just yet , Women in regular combat units , sorry dont see the need and don't agree with it .


even though it gives me chest pains , I have to agree with Jambutty on this one .....

You don't really give any valid reasons why women shouldn't enter into combat, if they so wish, except that you don't like it. I know loads of women with great courage, and men who are total wimps, who couldn't kill a slug. It's all about choices.
