[QUOTE="m551sheridan, post: 62026694, member: 321187"] I'm an old horse soldier but allow me to comment to the thread title. Woman are more then capable of flying jet and rotor aircraft... I have no problem with them flying *fighter* type of aircraft. Woman can command ships and submarines. And woman can die ugly in those occupations as well as the next person. Here is my problem. Woman should not be allowed into the Infantry, Armor or Calvary. In the Infantry you either carry your share of the mission equipment or you will not be around long... 100+ pounds and walking miles every day is not for woman... nor is the living conditions. Armor? Yes a tank is easy to drive - the maintenance is not... it is heavy work and takes muscle... and you die *really* ugly in a tank. A parent should not have to visualize their daughter having died so violently and burning for a couple of days before they can be recovered. Calvary? Sorta a combination or Infantry and Armor.... If woman want to be in combat... let it be where they can end the day with a shower and a hot meal... the trench is no place for a woman. All that said one would think woman would be appreciative that thier countries mores' wish to keep them from the horror of ground combat. [/QUOTE]
