Maybe he has. But the point you make is he didn't know about it.

But having been in the Army and trained with men, can women do the job that is required? I certainly think so. Don?t get me wrong; I completely understand why men have always been put on the frontline. Biologically, something happens to men, call it testosterone or whatever, when they are put under threat. Within seconds a powerful burst of aggression kicks in and they become a pack of wolves.
I experienced this during training. I also realised that whilst women can get to this level of aggression, it doesn't come as quickly or as naturally as it does with men. And of course, seconds and minutes lost in the field can be life or death. Any delay is simply a risk you can?t take.
The last thing our nation needs right now is women coming home in body bags.
