Interesting! Would tie in well with that other thread about sex equality in the Forces too.

It sounds to me like the Republicans are pressing for a withdrawal of primarily non-combat roles, at least in theory? Drivers, medics etc.

Personally I have no problems with women performing roles like these, but I guess that with the emphasis more on highly mobile conflict and guerilla fighting that supply lines being attacked is more of an issue...
