[QUOTE=Surgicalcric;450695]OK so now 50 women, 50 out of the some 12 million men that purportedly served in the Red Army in WWII.

The Soviet example is hard to apply to our circumstance. Total war on your own soil...yeah, everyone able to the front. here is your rifle and 5 rounds.
They were not concerned about their own casualties, at all, or if they even had a fighting chance....I'd offer the penal Bn's that fired on their own retreating soldiers as an example.....
Females are better shots? Not in my experience. They can be as good, if endowed with good eyesight and muscle control.
They can do better initially because they bring no ego/prior bad teaching to the table and will do exactly as you say...guys have to 'do it my way' etc until you prove them wrong.
Women can kill but not on an equal basis if the playing field is level/honest.
