I used to be a fan of women joining combat units until I joined the military. Sure it seems sexy or fair for women to have the same chances as guys, but war isn't going to be either of those. I think having women working besides you in a infantry unit atleast, would be dreadful. Dudes would be always trying to get laid instead of focusing at their job. Plus you can't slow down for cramps and vaginal bleeding. If they get knocked up what are you gonna do? Make them the company clerk? You can only have so many of those.
Yeah, I know there are some tough ladies out there that can compete, but they are still a walking conquest for guys. The pog units that I saw with women were like this too. Dudes flirting with them, them flirting with dudes. It was just down right unprofessional. When I was on ship one of the female sailors got set back stateside, because she was knocked up. I just see things not working well.
Women in combat units will most likely happen someday, it's a sign of the times. Maybe, they should start with all women units.
