During a battle, "cannon fodder" is needed. If the enemy kills enough good
combat troops, they can win. Reading WW2 combat stories about a handfull
of good combat soldiers holding a multitude of enemy forces at bay 
demonstrates this. Therefore, I repeat, whoever joins the military should
expect to go into combat unless they are given the opportunity to serve
in other than combat units. I said *given* the opportuniy, not placed
because of sex.
