Body Armor Not Made For Woman
Women who sign up for combat duty can expect a bruising...from their uniforms. Body armor designed for men can lead to bleeding and chafing. In addition, they contribute to a high rate of urinary and vaginal infections. USA Today reports these finding from an Army task force of female officers. The committee says paying attention to these health issues is critical as the military opens more combat positions to women. The Army says it is testing armor made for women.

Being in the Army has never been about comfort they don't even heat their vehicles.
This is so stupid. Women in combat place the entire team at risk. Period.
5:25 I do respect your option but you are wrong in many ways if you review some history you would know that women have helped many ways in most wars it may not been in combat but they still worked with the army for example during war world two they went to factories and built some of the machinery they have used in the war and also they supplied money that wasn't going through the country because so many men were at war.
It's disgraceful for a country to send its women into combat.
Dear 9:19,
I am wondering if you feel that way about Israel.
Thanks!

Maybe. Maybe not.
If I was pinned down under enemy fire and a female soldier could save my biscuits, should I refuse her assistance because it would be 'disgraceful'?
Having them their probably does cause issues/problems.
But they are they by choice. No one wants to see women get killed in combat, or men for that matter.
If they want to fight for their family, friends and country, why should they not be allowed?
