Would you really want to be in a combat environment, more physical stress than you can imagine, and 10x the mental stress. Plus forget sleep or showering, sometimes for more than a week or two. You really want that equal right? What are you going to do when one of your buddies gets hit? I'll clue you in.. it not just a little hole in the shirt and a trickle of blood and they ask you to tell thier wife they love her then he closes his eyes. Its more like limbs blown off, people torn in half, screaming and flopping around. I've seen it first hand and i wouldnt wish it on anyone. How would you handle sleeping at night after you've pointed your weapon at a group of people, squeezed off a few rounds and watch them fall? You think the 'counseling' the military gives you can erase all that?

Maybe you should be careful of what you wish for, you just may get it.

I've met a couple of females that were already soldiers that could handle it, but they were exceptions to the case.
