Tell me how a woman is a better choice to be put on the front line of battle?
They can barely carry their packs (most). Let alone carry an injured soldier away to safety.
I think this is one of those scenarios where a women is less suitable than a man even if she thinks shes wonderwoman. Dont you just agree? Its just commonsense is it not?
What other scenarios is the man the obvious better choice than the woman?

If there was going to be one battle involving each country's best 500 soldiers, then all of the soldiers would be guys.
But in a war where there are over 100K soldiers, there are bound to be some women more qualified than men. For instance, it pains me to say this, but there are women better qualified than me to be soldiers.
There would be some issues, but if these women were forced to meet the same physical standards as men (WHICH THEY ARE NOT AS OF TODAY'S DATE), then there probably wouldn't be any problem having them on the front line.

I have heard the reasoning before and as a girl, Im even glad that I wont be drafted to front line positions, but EVERYONE remember that women are trained in combat along side their male counter parts because in WAR everyone is a fighter, whether they are stronger, or stronger-smelling. Platoons of cooks get ambushed and taken prisoner. War is a dirty thing and there is a very very fine line between front line and not front line when you are deployed. As a matter of debate, there are hormones women can take to avoid their periods, thus taking away that excuse...also, although women are built differently, they make up for their lesser strength with a greater endurance than men. So if they want to fight front line, I would let them. I applaud the men and women brave enough to desire the position of being the first line.

I have no problem with women in the front lines, but they should be accepted under the same standards as men, so they can be able to carry an injured soldier, lift their packs, and etc. Same goes with firemen (and women) and police officers. They should make a documentary about this issue called "When political correctnesses attack".

im not in the army..but personally if i was..id keep my butt on the back line...take care of wounds and do what i could and just send the guys happy butts back out there...
besides...i dont know why being an army nurse or whatever is such an awful thing...if it wasnt for ppl like that then no soldier who was injured would even be able to go back to the front lines..
heck a leader is only as strong as those who support him or her right?
but me personally if i was in the army or whatever..id be proud to say that i was a nurse...or whatever.
im not demeaning myself..im taking pride in what i could do to help.
oh and im like so in love with Johnny right now! :P smart and attractive too!

We have as much right to fight as men do. And many a man has saved his brethren. This you seemed to have noticed.But I know that in all this time there has to have been a woman to have saved the day somehow. We all have our good points and bad,our strengths and our weaknesses.In one thing a man cannot be useful for,a woman can be very useful in.In another thing a woman cannot be useful for,a man can be useful.

Women should always be in the front line and the men can go to the pub LOL. If women were in the front line, a war would be over within hours. The women would nag the enemy to despair in no time at all. Two hours of nagging and the enemy will approach with the white flags of surrender. LOL

I do not believe that women should be placed in battle - I dont believe that women should be street cops either [ maybe detectives]. I am not a feminist - But I am not a milly mouthed, ladel slingin sex kitten either.
The gap continues to grow between women and men - and it saddens me, truly. Because there is no balance - The men go too far - the women go too far.

They fight like demons in the Israeli Army.
They're also far better at 'multi-tasking' than most men. A very valuable trait when the sh*t hits the fan.
Women also have terrific endurance.
I have to say your pretty off the mark here - but thanks for asking.

A woman can stop a bullet just as good as a man!

Well considering that wars nowadays aren't really fought with hand to hand combat, and if a woman can meet the requirements so that she doesn't get herself or her fellow soldiers killed, there is no reason why a woman shouldn't be allowed to fight a war.
