Just wondering what everyone's view point on this is, i had a really interesting conversation with a lady i work with this morning, she'd had a debate/argument with a friend of hers, (much older i might add) who basically said it was wrong for women to go to war and fight on the frontline along with the men, the more so if they had children.

My thoughts on it are this. If a woman has the guts and bravery to go to war and fight for her country, good luck to her.
If she has children, it shouldn't stop her going. It doesn't stop the men going, they sometimes have children left at home, but when they sign up for the army, they MUST go where they are called.

As my friend said, it should be equal. how come women get a choice, and the men don't?

(i know some of you are going to argue that and say they could have chose not to join the army...)

Please keep all replies civil and decent. I'm expecting strong opinions, but i don't want any flaming!
