In 1948, during the Arab-Israeli War, the IDF discovered that male soldiers would drop out of the attack to help a female soldier, who was beyond help, quicker than they would do the same for a male soldier. This hendered the mission, it damaged morale and unit cohesion. It's the opinion of every real army in the world that co-ed combat units are a bad idea.
Even the Soviets didn't allow co-ed units during WW2 and they had 5 year olds digging tank ditches in front of Moscow, so they obviosuly didn't care about who got killed and who didn't. They had male and female units. One of the baddest tank units in the Red Army was an all female battalion. Probably the highest scoring squadron in the Soviet air force was an all female night fighter squadron that the Germans dubbed, "The Night Witches".
So, can we please stop using the, "egotistical white men", argument? Please??
