Well one reason I can think of is that it may endanger the lives of their comrades.

Think what you like in this world of upturned values, but I still think deep down men, most men, have a genetic disposition to be protective of women. This instinct could lead to situations where they would take actions not dictated by combat protocols and place other lives at risk.

A quickie before impending death?

Lol!!!.....that's what I call going off with a bang.

I mean this argument being made by some of the feminist commentators that women should be allowed into front line combat roles.

I know the Russians did it and may still do. I know that there are women combat pilots and on warships.

But I just don't think combat infantry is the place for women. Call me what you like.

Why not?

If they can pass the physicals, why not?

If men can pay the membership fees at curves or fernwood, why shouldnt they be accepted as members?

Well that folks, is a classic example of a stupid argument.

Don't you think that people have a genetic predisposition to protect anybody? Particularly their friends.

Surely you have enough faith in the training of our forces not to place individual needs over the safety of others?

It was a stupid question to begin with. One you really should have thought about before asking.
Feminists like to think their questions are on a similar level of profundity to "if a tree falls in the forest does it make a sound" but they're actually incredibly easy to answer. Giving an answer they want to hear is another matter.

Why was it a stupid question? Why shouldn't women serve on the front line if they can pass the training?

Have a look at Wikipedia the Russian women were very capable soldiers,I don't see what the issue is regarding women who would like to serve in the frontline, if they can meet the requirements I say why not.
