They threw their bras away in the 60's because they wanted liberation. What they ended up with was equality, So why not serve in the front line if they want. My son is a submariner and I spent an amazing day aboard a submarine out of Garden Island. There were several women on board - Steward, Able Seaman and a Comms person. Every body go on well and I asked my son what he thought, and he said women are perfectly acceptable - no worries. My daughter-in-law, whilst not exactly in the front line was on the Bridge of the Westralia, when that terrible fire occurred. Although she was only a junior Officer, and took no part in any decision making, she witnessed the whole sad saga and did not fall apart. Women in the forces - no problems
