just there is more to it than just pulling a trigger. Well, of course I would agree to that. Training is a most important aspect of the armed forces. The Israelies did a detailed evaluation of it's own female soldiers in combat. They came out with a favorable evaluation if I remember correctly (the link is on SI somewhere) it's just once they have had kids, the results show they are slightly less likely to take another human life as opposed to males. Not exactly a failing in my book. The difference in physical strength becomes less of a factor in an increasing mechanized war. On the plus side, the potential number of effectives on your side doubles when you include females. Something alpha male societies need to consider when they are using their own women and children as shields and hiding down in their bunkers. They will not win a war against a better equipped force if they play it any differently. Peaceful methods of protest would be much more effective against the western world and culture imho. -g-
