Again make combat training conditions uniform, do not ease them in any way shape or form, let women have at it, if they want to have the right to die in combat, let them.
Women dont have the same physical readiness testing as males in the military. Don't get me wrong presently women in Iraq are taking alot of the same fire as males are.

I just have a hard time seeing a situation like Starship Troopers minus the aliens every happening successfully. They way things unfold one never knows.
