I've heard all the arguements for and against women serving in the front lines. Really both sides of the arguement have good reasons that are not chavenist either. From what I understand, the Israeli military has successfull integrated men and women in all the areas of service. I may be wrong and someone please correct me if they have any information to the contrary. If my information is correct though perhaps we can take lessons from them in regards to how they've effectively combined the genders in their fighting forces. I think that no matter how the issue is handled the situation needs to be handled with care. I think the military would benefit from having female minds cooperating. Perhaps we'd use different tactics that might prove more effective and less costly. Course it can always go the other way. As for the women who are asking to fight on the front lines my biggest question is WHY? Are they simply wanting it because it's denied to them? Or do they truely believe they'll be more valueable there? Their motivation is probably the most important fact to consider and also the hardest.
