Snake-Eyes has no qualms about killing if the mission calls for it; in fact he's very, very good at it.
If they are fighting in Gotham City, Batman has a distinct advantage. However, anywhere else in the world - especially out in the field - Snake-Eyes would kill Batman without any hesitation. |

You know, it's all about demand. If the US military was engaged in a half dozen wars and was seriously hurting for soldiers, even say after bringing back a draft, and they needed ever able body, I'd bet my left toe that you'd see women rangers, snipers, SEALs, you name it.
I tend to agree with you but I don't think even the Israelis have their Women in all combat roles. They have female Fighter Pilots, Artillery and Tank Drivers. But I think the Special Forces units are all male still. I cannot see a woman being strong enough for the Training in general. Mostly Upper Body Strength seems to be what holds most women back. I suppose there is some ridiculously huge buff woman taking steroids, that may finish training. But she would be a freak. |

Yeah, I may have seen this. Didn't he write a book on the subject? I don't know his rationale but I can imagine some valid reasons; however, when given the chance, women have proven to be superb atheletes, so I don't think it has to do with the physical challenges. Getting captured and tortued by the enemy, I think, has created the greatest opposition to women being in combat. No one wants to contemplate such a thing. I'm not saying they would make the best soldiers, but I just think the individual should be judged on his/her achievements and merits, not gender. That's just my humble opinion.
Women are weaker, physically. They don't have the upper body strength or the endurance. Show me a woman who is abnormally strong, I'll find you 10 men who are stronger. Emotionally, women break down. They cry; they react emotionally. Women are psychologically unable to compartmentalize traumatic situations under combat conditions. They process events emotionally. That's the nature of women, and it's a blessing when it comes to so many other aspects in life - but not in combat. hygiene is an issue. Especially in the field over an extended period of time. The focus, and attention of the other soldiers in the unit is at stake - this means the personal safety of every soldier who might feel attracted to, or protective of, a female in his unit. Pregnancy in the field is an issue... the Navy is dealing with it on ships. It gets lonely in the field and safety can even become an issue. Torture of an American female soldier is ugly. Rape is a real possibility in those situations... multiple rape. Putting a woman into a combat unit increases the chances of that exponentially. Women in Combat would significantly diminish the combat effectiveness of our Combat Forces (Combat Arms, Special Forces).

The merits of the individual soldier must be taken into consideration of the mission and requirements of the larger team. It isn't really an Army of One; it's a team of soldiers... we don't train individuals.
