There are some very strong women out their, why deny them the chance to serve in combat positions?

Women, like it or not, are generally not as well suited for such rigorous physical demands, as well as usually being much too compassionate for the brutality of killing, but for those who are capable-go for it! ..lest we not have wars, then just plain, yay!

If a woman wants to, she should be able to; just like men should be able to make that choice - if war HAS to exist at all (I am strongly against but that's a different poll), anyone who chooses should be able to serve his or her country. It is certainly a brave, admirable sacrifice.

There would be no wars if there was no gullible cannon fodder willing to die for those who are causing all the present chaos & disorder with their lies and deception for their own evil agenda

I still have mixed feelings. Remembering John Lennon's "Imagine" is what we should have,not war. But if a woman want to go into the field, God bless her.

I can't wait to see how they will handle the many complex problems that will arise. Only I want to here it directly from the women's mouth's!
