Hand to hand combat?

[Curt J]

Yes. Women in the US Army are required to qualify with weapons the same way the men are and while women cannot, by regulation, be assigned directly to a combat unit, they have still found themselves in the position of having to engage the enemy and acquitted themselves very well, I might add.
