John R	some of the reason that women have not been allowed in combat more is because of the upbringing of the American male. we have always been brought up ,to believe that we are the protector of females, this is not the thinking in a lot of county's. The female in most cases can do as good a job as males, in some cases actually better and of course in some not as good. having served with females i respect their ability, dedication, and willingness Was this answer helpful to you?

AmericanPatriot	Well, in Iraq, there are no 'front lines' and women have been forced into combat because of the circumstances. So asking if they should be ALLOWED, is a moot point over in 'the sand box.' Also, there are female fighter pilots in the U.S. Navy. Case in point, in the early days of the action in Afghanistan, a female F-14 pilot off the USS Roosevelt CVN-71, blew the snot out of several Al Qaida installations. Was this answer helpful to you?

Air Controller	Easy answer - YES. They have joined the military, are receiving the same benifits as men, they know what they are getting themselves into and if they want to be seen as equals in the military and treated as equals then they should be on the frontlines.

will987456	i would hate to see a woman taken into the wrong hands and mistreated in anyway. women get raped in the military by are own people. its truly sad. i wouldn't want women in it, for that reason alone. -will Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Submariner 1	First get your fatcs right. Where do you get a 50% increase from? Woman only make up about 15% of the forces at any given time. Other countries do let woman be on the front line. Name one! I know they are not part of NATO! I could not find one that did, other than Mercs for some crooked regime. But me no. I have no doubt they could, and would perform to well. But I also believe it would in the end be a detriment to the unit, and force. For most men, they feel a sense of obligation to protect a woman in danger, this would be terrible in battle. Also I could not im my concese allow woman to be put in a position that has the very real possibility of being captured. What Woman have gone threw, who were POW is horrible. I'm not sure about ground forces, but I know the stress reliefs on a submarine would not be good if it involved woman. Allot of people would get in trouble. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Gotta have more explosions!	This question has been asked so many times. Yes, all the old arguments against it have been proven to be incorrect assumptions over and over again. ...that and males have to carry their own shaving gear into the field and shave every morning in the cold, where they're likely to cut their faces and cause infections.

G-gal	I think there are places where women should definitely be allowed, however I think they have to be held to the same standard as men.

USDrill	Yes they should, IF they agree not to having to have separate sleeping areas, separate latrines, and separate shower facilities. Would they have problems with being in confined areas with males, such as armored vehicles ? Try visualizing what the enemy would do with a female prisoner. If there would be no problems with this, then lets move out! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

morrowynd	I'm for it. Women serve in Israel. American women are healthier, bigger, and stronger than most of our counter parts. Plus, it would REALLY piss-off the Taliban to get their buts blown off by an American woman. SWEEEEEET!!!!!! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

colder_in_minnesota	Because the enemy doesn't distinguish between whether or not a soldier is male or female, I think women should be prepared to defend themselves and their country in combat. Having said that, I guess I'd rather not expressly put them in harm's way. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No
