Well...there probably isn't one guy that wouldn't agree that his ex wife qualifies for combat duty!
Seriously though, I would like to see women ONLY in combat support positions. There is plenty of important non front line work to be done when fighting a war. I see it as just as honorable, important, and yes brave. I just am not comfortable thinking of a future wife and mom in a bayonette fight in the trenches somewhere and I really do not like the idea of a woman being taken as a prisoner of war...for a lot of reasons.
I say...we Americans love and cherish our gals way too much to send them to the front lines and into combat. I think it's a bad idea.

No problem, just don't lower standards which has already been done. Feminists have begun to eat their own (young).
