In my 21 years in the military I have never heard of one person be they man or woman who wanted to serve in combat.
would you want your wife, sister or daughter to serve in hand to hand combat and live in a foxhole?
I respect them enough to decide for themselves what career they should peruse. I don't believe in treating them as property.

Who said anything about treating them as property?

They want "equality", which typically means the same rewards without genuinely equal achievement.

I wouldn't want my husband (If I was gay or a female), brother or son to serve in hand to hand combat and live in a foxhole. I wouldn't want them to be in harms way. But I would respect their service to their country and hope they make it out.

*snort* - you think people join the military to die?
Heck - why'd you go in? You want to die?
No one wants to die - you're in - ask why people join . . . everyone has their own reason and no one ever says "I have a death wish"
What a stupid question :roll:

Funny, I've known a lot of people who wanted to serve specifically in combat-- including several who enjoyed the privilege.
Some women want to serve in the combat arms and specifically in combat. I don't hold with putting women in harm's way, but it does them a terrible disservice to claim they're anything less than genuine in their desire.
