Sure, as long as they're capable of what is asked of them and i doubt you can come up with a nonemotional reason why they shouldn't.
Now, let's extend your position to some sort of hypothetical situation. You obviously think women should be protected by men at all times. Do you allow your female family members to work? Can they go to the store without a male escort? We're talking about chivalry here, right? I mean, c'mon, what kind of coward lets his wife work?

But NCB bringing up his service DOES make his postion more relevant to this topic, you see having been in the military gives a person better insight as to what is required to perform certian duties.

Well, i guess what i meant was that the military doesn't use a jackass screening process. Passing basic doesn't make you automatically courageous.
I could see NCB's service being relevant if his position had anything to do with the normal operation of the military. It doesn't, though. His position is that women need to be protected by men, and having women serving on the front lines would violate his notion of chivalry.
