Tanks. I'm hearing about tanks. You are in a tank for extended periods of time, in battle, under siege. You can't pull the tank over every 5 minutes for a potty break. So do women belong in tanks? Would a tank troop staffed entirely by females be a good idea? Would they bring other issues into where they directed their fire power? I've heard many professional tank crews comment how close the quarters are inside a tank, and that hygiene is actually an issue that impacts performance in the field...i.e., you gotta be able to hold it sometimes for long periods. Also, should tanks have separate facilities for both men and women? How far do we have to go to accomodate two sexes in the same military? Or should we just have troops that are of one sex or the other, but not both? If you were the head of Al Qaeda, would you be more vehement to absolutely defeat America with as many suicide bombers you could generate, if it's leader were a woman like Hillary? Or are they gender blind?
