Guest MG....I was wondering about that, whether a woman in front line combat would have an adverse effect on the unit.

Also the issue of physical strength does come into it in close quarter combat.
Men and women are not "equal" in physical strength, no matter how fit or well trained they may be.
Members of infantry battalions are required to perform many arduous tasks in extreme conditions, involving the hauling of heavy gear and weapons.

Guest from Scotland.....If you wish to make this thread another personal vendetta you will be disappointed.....kindly confine yourself to the issues under discussion.
