Well girls you got what you wanted...

Then the question becomes, how do you resolve the problem without hurting people?

In my opinion, that should always be the question. Of course, I would substitute people with "innocent people."

P.S. Sorry I'm a crabby patty, Syn. I still like you. <3

True, 'innocen people' is better than just 'people.' But it's still a legitimate question: how can we resolve the problem without innocent people being hurt?

Another question: If we follow Syn's idea and get a lot of women into combat roles quickly, there will be more rapes. But it will help fix the problem for future generations. On the other hand, doing something else may fix the problem, but put women on unequal footing for a longer period of time. So, either path has a cost. If we lift the women in combat ban as it is now, more women would get raped. If we wait, women have to be second class soldiers even longer (and if other options don't work, we may have to use Syn's 'flood the field' plan, anyway). Either way, we're choosing the lesser of two evils.
