   Women don't belong in a combat theatre.  All the BS chickflick movies from   
   Hollywierd would have you believe a 110 lb girl is going to kick the shit   
   out of a squad of 200 lb men.  Maybe in the movies.  That splittail hiyah   
   shit doesn't happen when some asshole is shooting at you and you're   
   hunkered down waiting for him to reload so you can return fire.  If the   
   assholes think they see women, they get real crafty because they think if   
   they can kill you or run you out of ammo they get the women.
