Good news for equality. I hope the UK is running out of soldiers though...

The girls I grew up with, the women I know (England) could severly beat many a man with their bare fists. Give 'em a gun and they will smite 'nuff bad people.

Why not allow women into combat? Stupid not to.

I saw a demonstration of Karate by a 6th Dan yesterday. She was blood-curdling. Leaping around with those crooked oft-broken fingers, those powerful screams. A happy addition to any army. Individually if the women can keep up with the men's training, then why not? If they have to have special help, then all-female units? Then the women can have a choice of go-it-alone, or part of a women's fighting force? How many volunteers are we looking at, I wonder?
