I agree but I would not want to be debating this in a foxhole where emotions can get high. The same goes with co-military (men & women), in that situation the differences stand out, the man recognizes a woman and vice versa so barriers are there or not. Imagine periodically being shot at in a foxhole talking about "home" or "fun" with your buddy and then .......

Eh, just relaying my experience and concern.....

Now, when your weapons are dulled, your ardor damped, your strength exhausted and your treasure spent, other chieftains will spring up to take advantage of your extremity. Then no man, however wise, will be able to avert the consequences that must ensue.
