Many western nations are just reciently allowing women into combat postings.

Russia, has allowed this in the past.
Necessity, or a strong nature(like the Black "Strong Sista" in America,) is a point of debate.

Russia did have female pilots and snipers in WWII, and some very sucessful and highly reguarded women emerged.

Good question.

This may take awhile.

We usually see women in support posts, but that doesn't happen very often in combat positions. I personally can imagine women as pilots, as Sukhoy says, but women in the Marine corps or Special Forces is a bit difficult even to imagine. But this is just my opinion.

Sukhoy, yes i have heard that G-force theory, female pilots can sustain G-force more than male

Some countries recruit females for Special Forces
US
Israel
Belgium
India
Russia
Brazil

a bullet from a woman is just as deadly as that from a man.
but can be to much emotional on some subjects so.

( i know a woman in my village who served our special forces (korps mariniers)

Women cannot handle g-forces as well as men due to smaller proportion of muscle per bodyweight. As I've said before if you watch the videos of Blue Angels, Thunderbirdgs, or any other stunteam from pilot cam you will see them clenching and making weird faces. This is to flex their muscles and squeeze their own arteries to control bloodflow and prevent blackout. Women are higher percent bodyfat versus muscle and it is more difficult for them to do so.

I am not a sexist but blatant falsehood to advance a cause bother me. Just like the "rule of thumb" lie. (For those who don't know the rule of thumb lie is the story that when it was legal for a man to beat his wife the restriction was that he could not use a stick wider than his thumb. In reality the term is a carpenter's term refering to a carpenter who did not need a ruler or measure but could rely only on measuring with the width of his thumb)
