A we All have this dear Abby As a former wac May i contribute my thoughts concerning women in combat i served in world War ii for three years on a proving ground under combat conditions evaluating weapons and helping train troops in the use of those weapons. My observations were As follows 1. A significant number of men arc not suitable for combat duty. 2. A larger percentage of women Are not suitable for combat duty. 3. People arc reluctant to take orders from squeaky voiced Little people who appear to be younger and or weaker than they Are. 4. People will readily take orders from an older woman who is demonstrably competent. 5. In a real Way you use what you have. Former wac Maine dear Abby concerning women in the military i believe that dear Abby women should be allowed to serve their country in any capacity they choose a providing they Are fully qualified. However they Are limited by nature. Putting it bluntly men Are the breadwinners and women Are the baby makers. We have never seen a Man endure menstrual periods pregnancy labor childbirth or menopause. And we never will. Realistic in Seattle dear Abby this letter is in response to a a future female soldiers my feeling is that any woman who can qualify for combat should be Able to participate. This also goes for african americans asians native americans hispanics and any other individual who can make the Grade. America has become obsessed with the need to classify people and to qualify them for careers benefits etc., based upon race and gender. I Hope i live to see the Day when we can overcome this overriding concern with a minority status and instead took to a persons abilities qualifications and desire to handle the task at hand. Skip Schweiss Parker Colo. Dear Abby the reluctance to Send women into War is a relic of the past. It was a code of Battle that existed when Brave soldiers men of Honor and courage faced each other in combat to protect their women and children. In this age of nuclear targeting we conveniently forget that we Are All equally in the gunfights including those who Are in hospitals schools and nursing Homes. There is no a a Safe Haven. To cling to the notion that our men Wii protect us delicate females is buying into the Macau mythology of the a Good modern warfare mane this fantasy obsolete. N Judith a. Murphy , Palo Alto Calif. Dear Abby. Of Why does everyone ignore the sexual aspect j women in combat one thing that cannot be by legislation is the natural desire for males anti males to mate. With All that a togetherness a to soldiers would be getting pregnant. The army my have to provide Day care centers on the fr0�to another idea All women who request c0 1.b Nve should agree to have a tubal ligation. It would re one major problem and make a lot of Gisha Morton Grove ill
