Gaia most women in Afghanistan are medics or support staff. Not front line infantry or marines. So they don’t get into active fights. All the special forces units in my province are men only. The only women we have at the FOB in Farah are in supporting roles or civilians.

I’m sure that’s true but there are places in the world where women are fighting on the front lines. The American news media LOVES these stories of women soldiers coming back and sharing their stories and how their families were effected.

I for one do not believe that the door to women being able to participate in combat war should have ever been opened. Because this doesn’t only effect those women who WANT to join the army and fight on the front lines, but in the future all US citizen females may face being in a controversial position of supporting your nation or supporting your family.

But most people in the US believe that IF a woman wants to fight front lines than she should be allowed too. Because THIS is equality. Ya I beg to differ.

And Nomi- I completely agree.
