I'm very much opposed to women serving on the fron lines in combat.
I would be against this as well. Like it or not, we're not built for engaging in combat with males unless it is just verbal.
No Way!
As a 225lb veteran of Desert Storm, I say, NO THANKS! How does a 125lb woman carry a wounded buddy to safety? And there is several other examples as well.
I would be against it. War can be very physical. Males are far superior to females in this area.

As a former Marine, I would be against this.
