Women have been nurses for some time in the military....I'd bet they've seen that.[QUOTE="LJS9502_basic"]

Come on, seeing dying people is something that female doctors and nurses see every day. Getting shot at, having grenades going off next you your ear, and seeing your best friends literally torn into pieces at your side is an entirely different story.

What I'm saying is that seeing the result of these things after a battle is much different than seeing them happen right at your side and still keeping the composure necessary to continue to fight. Bottom line is that it is a matter of scientific fact.
Men have bodies more well equipped for physical activity. Fact.
Women's bodies are suited for child bearing Fact.
Men's high level of testosterone makes us more aggressive and regulates our fight-or-flight responses. Fact.
Women have low levels of testosterone. Fact.
Men tend to use the left, or "logic" side of the brain more often. Fact.
Women tend to use the right or "emotion" side of the brain more often. Fact.
Women are more susceptible to depression than men because of low serotonin levels. Fact.
While I am sure there are individual women who can handle combat experiences on a regular basis, the number has to be very very low.

This guy hits it on the head. However the testosterone doesnt just alter our emotions, but the body aswell. Testosterone is key in building muscle, which im sure is QUITE important in a soldier. A 160 lb male vs a 160 lb female with relative fitness levels/bmi index, tell me which is stronger physically? The male. The reason, testosterone. As well, the average male can likely better live through seeing the casualties and dangers of front line battle than an average women.
