Women = Men in combat...

An arguement on this subject must be empty of any PC language.
I'll say some things that will anger many, but then that's the nature of PC absent talk.
This subject would not need be addressed if indeed women were equal to man.
If there was equallity with regards to this subject, then there would be no issue here. History would record the deeds of warrior women as much as men. The Generals and military leaders would be as many Women as Men.
Women have proven in the past that they are quite capible of waging war.
Pioneer women had to fight.
Most of women in warfare comes from the consiquences of situations...Survival of family and community. The greater the threats and the closer to home the more female involvement.
If women have been relegated by men to be non-warriors and more societal nurturers. Then equality can't be common to all or men would be non-warrior nurturers.
Female combat units would need to be segregated with the necessary concessions and therefore a modified combat effectivness value
If there were no concessions then there should be female or mixed Ranger battalions and SEAL teams. Enough for now...probably too much.

I'm not saying women arn't good combat soldiers just they are reared that way and the good ones will be far and few between.
