I am none the less morally opposed to employing females in the close combat role
reason being, close combat means what it says
you will close to bayonet range, you will come to a desperate fight at the breach, hand to hand
females simply don't stand a chance
no matter how fit she is, no matter how much of a tomboy,
she stands no chance at bayonet range against a male fighting for his life
it is immoral in my opinion, to send girls to their deaths without a fighting chance
and to cripple the close combat teams effectiveness therein
you'll get the girls killed, you'll get the guys killed trying to save them
and you will lose the battle by those means
can she beat you in a street fight ? No chance
a trench fight is just a street fight with bayonets
you have to overpower that man, fighting for his life with all he has, and stick the knife in him
evolutionary biology is on his side, a female will not prevail
