Gender jobs

The question should women serve in combat is quite different in today's wars. During WW 2 soldiers were often in the field for many months without any safe places to rest but in later wars things changed. The island hopping in the Pacific during WW 2 lasted three years and the troops were not allowed to come back home for the whole period. They charged the beaches, took the island and back on the boats to the next island. In Afghan the tour was 12 months but many times were available for a break away from action. The answer to whether women should serve in combat is not a simple one. It seems to many that women could best serve in non combat positions. Most disabled vets spoke highly of women who served in hospitals and other care facilities. In today's world it is sometimes unpopular to say one gender does something better than the other but common sense tells us this is so. Women are better care takers. Witness how women are taking over the medical profession as they did with education. Women are better working as sales clerks in women's clothing stores and men are better working in hard ware stores. In the military women could best serve as nurses and men in combat. This is not to say that each couldn't do both but that one group is more suited.
