PC?

Does anyone else out there think that the arguments against women serving in the infantry, cav, RAC, marines, RAF regt, apply equally to ALL frontline military positions?
Including any aircrew position that involves possible contact with the enemy? (downed pilot/nav/ALM, serving in a ground tour, etc)
I'm not saying that women lack the flying skills or officer/SNCO qualities, but deficiencies in upper-body strength, stamina and susceptability to gang rape by (heterosexual) enemy troops is enough argument for me to believe that the policy of exclusion which was legal in Britain until the late '80s, is STILL relevant today!

Strapping into my seat, who's first?.......
