When requesting a leave of absence from school, they even have hunting as a choice for reasons, i just wanted to point out that women can be as good as men, in some cases better, and while the concept of hunting may seem to be lowering, it's still a big deal in a few places...my sister became and expert in sharpshooting, even setting a record down at the wyoming boot camp...and she really hadn't shot guns since we were children, no one in her platoon(including men) were able to do that.
i agree there are some great women shooters, in finland they have the only army in the world that allows women to serve on the front lines with the men, they are regular infantry and whatnot....

But more than likely their put in the SKKK where their trained as snipers, assassains (many a russian general or official has died at the hands of the young blonde secratrey... ) saboteurs and a whole host of other stuff, but they cant serve with the recon teams as they operate for 6 months at a time in 4 man teams and well 3 men 1 woman.... you do the math.

But women are definelty as good as men.
