Obviously, you have never served or been in combat.........If the women are trained properly in these "close quarters" there is no disadvantage. Indeed, a smaller sized body would have the greater advantage in the fighting scenario you describe.

A lot of fear in this thread. I know female soldiers who can out press their male counterparts. There is nothing that suggests a woman will automatically lose in hand to hand combat with a male.
I agree with Skye, it should be about skill, not what parts you keep under your uniform.

Yes I have. I trained with women in martial arts and others areas as well. My patrol partner was female, I trusted her with my life.

This brings up an interesting question: If the draft were ever reinstated, would women now be eligible?

Then why are the physical fitness standards during basic training lower for the female soldiers??A lot of fear in this thread. I know female soldiers who can out press their male counterparts. There is nothing that suggests a woman will automatically lose in hand to hand combat with a male.

Will it be voluntary for the women?

In the all-volunteer Army, Infantry is always voluntary. So is every other MOS (Military Occupation Specialty).
Temporary stress reduction for the male soldiers is the only role that a female soldiers should be allowed to do if assigned to a front line infantry combat unit.

No, joining the military is voluntary. Once your in you can be changed to another MOS if the branch your in needs it filled.
Any women serving on front lines would just be brutally raped by our enemies if they are ever captured. Its happened many times to our women in uniform already.
I guess having our women subject to more violence including rape doesn't give our esteemed President any pause.
But we haven't been in a real knock down drag out war since Vietnam.
We have basically been fighting Taliban farmers and backyard trained jihadists.
But if we once again were in an all out war against a formidable opponent; think Japan and Germany during WWII
Where there was times of savage hand to hand combat.
Having women in infantry combat roles would be a huge mistake.
And put our young male soldiers at a tremendous disadvantage during times of close combat with the enemy.

That's not common practice.
Don't worry too much about it Jody.Temporary stress reduction for the male soldiers is the only role that a female soldiers should be allowed to do if assigned to a front line infantry combat unit.
A little humor is good from time to time, but it has to be funny first.
