#1 Water, Fuel Needs. Just so everyone is aware, that this is the eschelon that you start having the female members show up in numbers. The line between combat and combat support quickly disappears and regardless what the law stipulates restricting females from ground combat positions they are going to be in the chaos that constitutes the combat zone. Just don't be surprised about what you're going to see live from the front lines.

#2 I won't.
If we want equal rights, we should take equal responsibilities, and equal risks.
There may be some things my sex may not be physically as good at (in general), but I consider the ban on combat to be stupid. There are a few women who would be good on the front lines (not many, but a few).
If they can do it, they should be allowed to. If they can't they shouldn't. That should be the ONLY test.
