You could use the same argument about women in the front line. I know that the 'esprit de corps' is nurtured to make you look after your buddies and vice versa, and some women are probably tougher than a lot of men but I think the natural male instinct to protect the female of the species would govern their behaviour in a dangerous situation which would make them behave 'differently'.

Maybe they train them to ignore that instinct these days?

In the UK,the pregnancy rate amongst serving 'Seamen' (I avoided the spelling pun) having conceived during their tour is very high and has been the subject of a few courts marshal.

I only hope that Jolly Jack Tar and Jenny Wren manage to get the making of the double backed monster out of their system before they sound battle stations !
