Pull your head out of your ass - it's not the '70s anymore.
Like Salty said, it's not an issue of capablilities(at least in most cases). It's also not about personal responsibility in my argument. Women in a combat environment change the dynamic of a unit and under those conditions I generally don't believe it is for the better. Are you saying you'd rather have your wife forward deployed than safe at home? Btw, I do my fini-flight next month so I won't be going OCONUS anytime soon...and although I am a sexy b****, were you really worried about her hitting on me?
