The US government has cleared deployment of women for combat duties. In other words, the female combatant will fight shoulder to shoulder with her male counterpart on the borders! One might argue that in these days of missile warfare, the opposing forces would rarely come face to face with the enemy as they'd be many miles apart and any fear about women combatants being taken prisoners and subjected to inhuman treatment is misplaced, not worth even a second thought!
I'm of the opinion that women should not be deployed on combat duties. It's fraught with danger and an unscrupulous enemy can torture and misbehave with them, on capture. The badly mutilated bodies, displaying intimate parts, when zoomed into the living rooms on television would be repulsive and unacceptable to a viewer. At least, it would be for me. Call me old fashioned or whatever.
So, for us, this option is a strict no no!!
Tailpiece.
Which means no woman combat pilots in the IAF and no woman combatants on board IN ships!
The Indian woman is too precious to be trifled with by our enemies who do not abide by the Geneva conventions on combat.
