    But big up to them anyway for including women into the ranks.

    It shouldn't be the number of women that counts
    it should be the PERCENTAGE fo women in the military.

    Of course the 3 countries are the highest, they have the largest military.

    GDA- you would be surprised how many attitudes are of the "oh yeah, chicas with guns" variety.

    I think Israel was the first country to put women into combat roles. Correct me if I'm wrong here. And please, don't talk about some obscure little battle 500 years ago. I'm talking officially and still active in a standing army today. Anyway, I think it was israel.
    Kung Fu is good for you.

    depends on what you mean. The women of the germanic tribes fought often to defend their villages and homes, and also to force their men back into combat when they've begun to retreat.

    As mentioned before, there were women Samurai as well.

    This reminds me of some articles I have read about rape in the US army... and the numbers weren't small either.
    Show you the articles?
    Too lazy for that, rather than that I will leave it to your imagination.
    It's all it takes, and it is the truth.

    Well, alright. Consider yourself corrected.

    The Soviets did that long before, even during the October Revolution. The best known examples were when female tank commanders helped capture Berlin, though.

    Maybe it's just me, but chicks with toolbelts, biker chicks, and chicks with guns are always hot, no matter how ugly they actually are in reality.
    Your intelligence is surpassed only by your ignorance.

    You are more likely to fall down the stairs and break your neck if you live in a house with stairs. You are more likely to be in a car accident if you drive to work. You are more likely to be kicked in the nuts or punched in the nose if you practicing the martial arts. - Judge Pen
