I envy all those countries where this works.... In my county it does not. Apart from very few exceptions of course...
Officially I spent 7 years in service, but what I have seen .... Women in military service combat or non combat alike are - to say the least - disappointing. It is EUs (or similar idiotic organiation's) order to keep them in military (and police) ranks, because "poor women are so much disadvantaged" and discriminated.
In fact, they get ranks of sergeant in less than a year... or even officers in no time. We in the crew had dozens of guys who served more than 6-8 years as corporals or lances without any hope of promotion, doing the lowly work till growing old.
In fact most of them always complain, while working in climatized offices in positions doing paperwork or just making coffee and being kind to senior officers. if-yaknow-what-I-mean. skyrocketing careers.
In combat units, at least where I have met them they were primary whiners about everything. Ohmygod, no water, too heavy, do I have to do this, ... even disobeyed orders - without any punishment given by commaning officers. Being on sick call and leave for months. Happen to be scolded they whine even more, that they are discriminated being women...
We had to do physical work 6-8 hours, on open sun. We did not receive our water because "someone" who was sitting in cool office called sick of heat.
and so on.... the list is long.
As I said, I do envy those places, units, armed forces where there are "girls with balls" who aren't like that. Here they can do anything, no regulations, even if there were, noone would enforce them. So ranks are filled with "relatives-to-generals", lames, debiles, weaklings... and the compulsory number of women. Damn I'm happy I left that circus.
