No, Women Should Not Be in Combat

Men are built to win wars and do the heavy lifting, says John Sutter .

Sutter: When men suffer physically on battlefields and in POW camps, women suffer far worse.

Exhausted people don’t want to fight — and if they fight, they’re far less effective, he says.

The Army was forced to rewrite its field manuals to turn two -man jobs’ into “ three -person jobs” This can lead to disaster for any military force that faces recruiting shortfalls and relies, in every instance, on quality rather than quantity.

Mixing men and women in combat units also raises such issues as sexual harassment, sexual assault, and treatment of female POWs.
