I know we have women in our services ,helicopter pilots ,fastjet pilots etc,
however I served as a tank crewman ,and assault trooper in the 70's, I remember being told that Israel put women in their tanks ,and when the tank was hit ,the men stopped doing their job to make sure the woman was alright ...
