        'SOME women, sure; but if we insert women willy-nilly into our
        combat forces out of some compulsion to achieve "equal treatment",
	a disaster could result. Real combat is nothing like tv.'

We've certainly inserted men willy-nilly into our combat forces!  I know  that
I'm  no fighter, but they'd put a rifle in *my* hands if the war came. I agree
the military should only put appropriate people in the  service,  but  it's  a
gender-independent thing.
