Thank you! ^_^ I get told I'm compassionate a lot, personally, I think it's the natural way to be...
As for women in combat, I'm against it as much as I'm against men in combat, but for the sake of argument, I'd say that as long as they can pass the same tests the men have to pass and are held to the same standards then there is no real reason for them not to be in the same situations. There will always be fewer women interested in even considering combat and even fewer who are capable of the same physical standards, therefore it would make little difference overall. Though, the number of sexual assaults in military settings would increase and the male soldiers would no doubts feel more protective towards the females making them more likely to risk their own lives to protect them, which I feel is wrong. But as I said, I'm against combat generally...
