During WWII, The Russians employed women in their frontline military. Israel also has women in active combat duty.

I think the most relevant factor in the debate is whether or not women are up to the task. Individual women might be, but that's probably going to be rare. |

Not to mention they had the Germans literally beating down their front door, something the US hasn't experienced since the 1800s and likely never will again.

Yeah, I've heard about the Soviets' female snipers. I'm just saying that they had particular reasons for putting women in the armed forces.
Also, given the Red Army's reputation for rape in WWII, I can't imagine too many Soviet women were all that excited about serving. |

True, but I can't see a German-controlled Russia being any more appealing.
