Women tried but men wouldn't let them because they were deemed too inferior and so called fragile.
Heh. Men on this board got nervous spasms when it was suggested that women could serve in the infantry. Meanwhile, other nations tried it out and it turned out just fine.
Of course, the fact that a girl did two tours in the Helmand province and essentially out-machoed 90% of the men on this board didn't sit well at all with a subset of CD male posters.

This part is funny as hell...

“Once I peed in a bottle in front of an exercise observer/controller, in a moving APC,” she remembers. “In all fairness, we’d just woken up, been activated in a hurry, and I hadn’t had my morning **** — what was I gonna do? I asked him if he was sensitive and then unzipped my pants. Then I guess I made it worse by handing the warm bottle to my platoon sergeant and asking if he needed to go, because it was still half empty. He laughed and said no, he was good.

How many REALLY tried?
Of course- EVERYTHING is the fault of men!
Mrs LeaveWi gets a chuckle out of all these types of discussions. Thank God I found someone who doesn't blame men for everything( except me when I leave the seat up) nor considers herself a constantly oppressed victim. She's a tough girl, all 72 lbs of her. Survived alone in the Outback after her parents split. She can MORE than take care of herself in pretty much any situation. In the past, some blokes treated her pretty bad; she just dropped them like a ton of nothing, and moved on and realized that there are a metric ton of jerks out there of both genders; knows that there are good ones too, and believes men and women are different but equal. She doesn't want me to be a female, and I sure as heck don't want her to be a guy

really? that is your answer? what about the womens air corps service pilots during world war two? how about russian women who were in fact better snipers than their male counterparts? in israel women served along side the men in combat. but remember its more than just fighting on the front lines, how many women are capable of carrying a fellow soldier that has been wounded in battle?
and just how many women have tried to see front line combat? we now have female fighter pilots, and helicopter pilots, but how many really are willing to serve in the infantry? how many really are wiling to pick up a rifle and kill another human being?

I was a Marine, so we never had co-ed training, but my buddy who was in the Army tells me that when they completed a run, the males would sit down and smoke a cigarette while they waited for the females to finish.

Being woman are usually care givers and love to take care of those they love - why shouldn't we take care of our husbands? You find the majority of care giving jobs filled by woman because of our compassion to help - that doesn't mean we are weaklings - just more concerned about others. Quit trying to make nothing into something.
For those of us that read the article, male infant mortality seems to be the issue and it appears to be an issue rooted in genetics.
This is reasonable and expected since males, lacking a uterus, are disposable.
It's pretty well established in obstetrics that male newborns are more likely to suffer from medical issues and to need supportive care at birth than female newborns. Walk around a NICU, and it's very obvious.
