why cant a woman fight on the front line? we need men to make babies and there is more of us then men? men are better at some stuff then women and it should stay the same and not change. i was just wondering i did ask my dad before but i cant remember what he said. And has any woman every tried to change that?

Having been in many battles, I can assure you that the men would try to protect the women rather than do their job. Leave our wars alone, and focus on giving us a reason to survive and come home.

Many have tried to change it & none have suceeded.
The reasoning is women can be a distraction & sexual misconduct would be more frequent. They lack the physical ability to handle what could be hand to hand combat. As the mother of an Infantry Officer, I believe if a woman can not easily pick up my 200 pound son then she needs to stay behind the front line.
There are women who can but not many & my son's life could depend on a quick removal from battle. I am a huge women's rights person but not at the cost of my son or anyone's son's life.
I agree that men & women should be able to control themselves sexually but fear brings out the worst or best in people.

The excuse they use is the emotional attachment factor. Meaning the men would put themselves and their fellow soldiers in greater danger if a woman was injured or taken prisoner. This may have some merit, but there have been courageous women putting their lives in danger though out history for numerous things. I will have to admit, being a man, I would have a harder time leaving a wounded woman VS a man that I was ordered to leave.

because we dont want beautiful women like u hurt thats why
really it would be because women are not made for that kind of horror that men face even though women have proven to fight wars effectively but as a woman infantry on the frontline would not be a good choice however there are female fighter pilots of course

There is no reason they can't. I say any woman who wants to go there should be sent there promptly.
