“A Sign of Diversity on the Battlefield”

“The Army is testing the first body armor specifically tailored to fit women’s physiques.”    

This is going to be a serious distraction on the battlefleld.

And the idea has other problems. A woman has as much right to defend herself as a man does, but that’s a very different matter from marching forth to battle. Some jobs really are a man’s job.

The best discussion I’ve found on women in combat is Co-ed Combat. And not just because the Birkenhead Drill is the theme of an entire chapter.
