After a few female soldiers have been killed in Iraq the US discusses if and how woman can be protected from combat - because they are not supposed to fight at the frontline.

Although it may sound cynical: but woman should have the right to die for their country - and they will anyway, since modern warfare no longer works in the old terms of an ‘unsafe’ frontline here and a ’safe’ support area back there.

The Soviet army had no problems sending woman to fight, neither does Israel.
