[QUOTE="UpstateNYUPSer(Ret), post: 1084389, member: 12570"] I served for 8 years. The closest I ever got to a combat situation was when I was tasked to perform perimeter security at a C-141 crash site in Sicily. That being said, I would have a problem with women serving on the front lines in hostile territory. My attention would be split between the enemy and making sure the women were not in harm's way. Combat is not anything like it used to be but it can still be pretty brutal. Sexual impropriety is nothing new in the military. It was prevalent when I served in the '80s and, based on the stories from my superiors, it was prevalent in the '60s and '70s. The one thing I did not realize is that 152 women have died in Afghanistan. [/QUOTE]
