Israeli women have been in combat roles since 1948. What's the big deal. Soldiers who happen to be women have been in combat situations, in Iraq and still in Afghanistan, you know, like convoy drivers and shotguns, very dangerous, one of my duties in Vietnam. MP's guarding various posts, flying aircraft of all type into drop zones, ect:, I presume the army/marines still deploy that way. Please all this faux worry about traditional roles in the military will be proven to be so much hot air, sooner rather than later. Soldiers who happen to be women have already had to fight for their lives in combat situations. They have been in harms way for many years now. Grow up America, I'm sick of your childish ways.
