Women die every day. Women die giving birth. They die being victimised. They die in their jobs that they love, and they die in their beds after a long, happy life.
If a woman is willing to die for her country, who are we to stop her? Why shouldn't she? Are men's lives worth less than a woman's?
I don't like war. I'm a pacifist. But it's not a perfect world and we'll probably always need a defence force. There's no real reason I can think of that women shouldn't be given the chance to do that job.
