Women already serve in several War Machines around the world including the USA, EU/ NATO, Russia, Israel, Thailand, Turkey, Australia and a few others.
However only in Australia, Sweden and Israel (from what I have heard) are women allowed to serve in all heavy duty roles such as infantry, armour (tanks), artillery and special forces. NATO/ Russia and others don't allow women to serve in the most heavy duty work, but allow women on ships, aircraft, non-tank vehicles and auxillary roles like technicians, communication operators and medical staff.
The point is that most modern War Machines allow women to serve, but not in a few restricted areas.
Reasons used for this include physical concerns, distorted chivalry, sex discrimination and traditonal views on 'womens roles'.
So, are women allowed to fight (and risk death) along side men in all roles such as infantry or tank operators or should restrictions be put in place.
Personally, I believe that they shouldn't be restricted based on gender.
