Women, Combat, and the Draft

[TomFoolery]

The only 'gentle'men in combat are the dead ones.

No kidding. The recent wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, as well as most modern conflict has seen the use of civilian women and children as suicide bombers, and snipers, and human shields. The days of Colonial-era war conduct that tried to apply sportsman-like rules to combat have been dead for a while.

"The Song of the sea" ... is a short bit in Exodus.  It is thought to be an Israelite female war song ... and the oldest part of the Bible ... attributed to Miriam, sister of Moses.  Very pre-Islamic.
