Good points were made about women not serving in the military, but what about firstly, women-only units? That would solve the unit cohesion difficulties, and a lot of the other ones. And also, what about selective placement? For practical reasons I disagree with both women and Muslims serving on the very front line (as in face-to-face interaction with the enemy) in Iraq and Afghanistan. Woman because of the greater danger to them if they are captured, and because men will naturally take greater risks in those circumstances. And Muslims because if they show signs of being Muslim to the enemy, then the enemy will most likely think they are being mocked, and this could endanger the mission. Also, I don't think anyone would take kindly to enemy Muslims trying to convert American Muslim soldiers to the cause. There would be no problems with them serving in: any support unit, the Navy, the Air Force, or the other engagements the US is involved in (ie. the troops in South Korea, or one of the small-scale engagements that the US has troops either for fighting or advising the military). Any thoughts? - JamesCA, 25th May 2011

==Yes, bu not in co-ed front line units==
Women do not belong in combat on the front lines. However, women should always be allowed to serve as mechanics, nurses, doctors, medics, engineers, air traffic controllers, pilots...--[[User:IluvAviation|IluvAviation]] ([[User talk:IluvAviation|talk]]) 17:32, 7 May 2017 (EDT)
