Believe it or not, Pachter is right for once in his miserable life.

If he's right why are American women soldiers being killed? I know for a fact that their are Canadian female combat troops I know a few have died and I see them on the news all the time. You saying that women aren't allowed to fight in the US Army? And if women aren't allowed to fight why were several killed in combat including Paratroopers (Which I believe count as combat troops?

Now I'm no expert on the US Army but the US Army stated that 20% of the army is female. If its that high why aren't any of them fighting?

Do you have a link where that says that US troops aren't allowed to participate in combat?

There's something like 12-15 support troops for every combat troop. I'd guess they're mostly filling those roles. But just because women aren't allowed to be in direct combat roles, that's not to say they don't have dangerous jobs where they can come under attack. Here's a story about a recent Pentagon study that recommends women in combat roles, though.

Looks like women are banned from the infantry in the British armed forces, too.
