I believe that men and women are equals and should be treated as such, but just because people are equals does not mean that their capabilities are the same. In many areas, yes they may be, but in physical terms, the differences are obvious and undeniable. I'm glad to have read this article as I had no real idea of what was going on other than that the issue of females serving as combat infantry was on the table.

Personally I do wonder what will happen if there is another ground war between the U.S. and another country. Given the unknown likelihood of needing to engage in a ground war, if things in the military are as this article says, then the military can't afford to risk having a culture of insubordination to officers, or soldiers raping or prostituting themselves to other soldiers. I guess I don't see why it's so important to some people that women be allowed to serve as combat infantry or how it would improve things. I'd also like to know why women fighting in their own all-female units is not being discussed.
