But Raven, women have a much higher pain threshold 🙂
Talking on conscription however, I very strongly disapprove of it and it is abominable that it was still carried out as recently as the war in 'Nam, but given the fact that there was conscription, there is NO reason why women should have been exempt from it on basis of gender, there is NO difference in fighting skills soley because of difference in gender roles.

You realize how pissed we would get if they captured a woman and tortured her.... there are far more horrible things that the enemy can do to a women rather then a man.
Well, first of all... Like shaber said, I think women really do have higher tolerence to pain... Anyways, if a woman for some reason WANTS to fight on the front line, of course they should be able to. They realize fully that they might be captured and are aware of what could happen to them if they are. Besides, it's not like women can't already be captured with the positions they are allowed to have in the military.

this job could be taken on by men as well.
I doubt any female souldier isn't aware of the chances of getting tortured and raped if captured. I dare say, a woman is far more aware of this possibility, than a man can be on her behalf. if she, in spite of this risk, still wants to fight I think this is admireable and sugests a strong believe in the the cause.
