Why we need women in combat arms

In North Korea, “more than ten per cent of the army is made up of women — indeed some reports from defectors suggest the figure could be as high as 40 per cent.

“Given that the army boasts a total of 1.2 million troops, this means that, in theory, there could be close to half a million women in service.”

A woman soldier who recently escaped the North “told a newspaper women were being deployed in frontline units.

“‘Most of the artillery units along the North Korean coasts are manned with women, and there are independent women’s regiments and more women battalions,’ Kim said.”

(If our all-men combat arms have to fight the Norks, some might have a problem killing 500,000 women. We must have same-gender encounters.)
