Men hold really strong opinions about women in the military - opinions that really wouldn't occur to most women. If you want a balanced perspective, you should ask this question in a gender-unspecific forum.

I have two brothers and an ex who were military men. I could develop an endless list of reasons why the military would benefit from more women, and they'd be able to come up with a list just as long of reasons why women would be detrimental; many of the reasons were a big surprise to me.
