No. I say no, not because I feel it would be any kind of a threat to my manhood should women actually be allowed to do so. I say no because the problems that existed that caused our forefathers to decide that this would be a bad idea still exist today. We all like to think we are so open minded in this day and age. The reality is that we have just become close minded to the fact that we just might be close minded. If this makes you say "maybe you but not me" I thank you for illustrating my point for me. The truth is that we are just a really long way away from being like that movie Starship Troopers. I think that women should be able to fight in war though. It's just that to do so I think they need to form their own divisions comprised of nothing but women and forget about trying to fight alongside men. I think that women would do a really good job and that such a division, were one to exist, with the women all bent on proving themselves in such an arena, it might not be long before fighting women outnumber fighting men.
