Yeah, and who decides that? Oh...I see..the Men do?...the same men that are terrified of the fact that women do a lot of things as well of men.
True, most men (I hope) can put aside their false perceptions and state "I think they do a fine job in fighting the enemy"
But..and it's a big BUT, lots of men would never admit that a women can fire a rifle or judge a situation in war as well as a man can.
To admit that, they feel, "What the hell? I'm only as good as a puny women??....screw that shit!!"

That's why I DON"T trust the reports from the field
