I'm gonna be the wierdo here and see both sides. Angle, you're absolutely right, she shouldn't have been out on patol, she was a danger to her squad. Flipside, I see more and more women in our (US) armed forces doing combat jobs, faster, better and cheaper than I could have. My mind's eye goes back to that photo I uploaded here of the jet aircraft all crewed by women.
I get Air Commando magazine and our SOS outfits have women Forward Air Controllers, ParaMeds and on and on. So, I guess when you open it up to all, mistakes will be made. But I don't want to condemn an entire gender for a few problems like this. Humbly submitted.
