@@Indigo-ke5dq Yes, they've been allowing women into all the Army regiments for years now, but they are not exactly welcomed by the male front line troops, who have to slow their rate of running to accommodate the lesser speed that women run at, have to distribute most of the woman's kit among the men, as they can't carry the full 60lb weight of regular equipment plus weapon and ammo, so that reduces the effectiveness of the male soldiers even more. Most regiments now place the women in support roles, as musicians, or administrative duties when on active deployment. I have friends in the Army who hate having a woman anywhere around them when on active duty, as they are a liability, have problems accepting orders that are given them if they deem them "un -feminine" and if they are placed anywhere near the front line, they have to be escorted everywhere, as if they are captured by enemy forces, they face being raped/abused and more, which further affects the morale of the male troops. My friends dread being assigned duties around female troops, even behind the lines, as they can also be a distraction to men who haven't seen a woman for a good while, and even the act of going around shirtless as men did in Afghanistan/Iraq had to be stopped, due to complains from the women about having to be around men who were half naked. Also there is the problem of men who have a lot of extra testosterone making lewd remarks/gestures toward the female troops that causes allegations of sexual harassment to be made against the men. From what I heard from my Army friends, the U.S Forces had a high rate of rape amongst their ranks, as they had both men and women in front line roles, and so quite a few of the men, after seeing friends wounded or killed in battle, would take out their frustrations on the women, and so sexual assaults/rapes were commonplace in Afghanistan/Iraq.
