LOTR - Eowyn and women in combat

[LawyersGunsAndMoney]

The difficulty here is that some say others cannot know the pain of war without being there

Generally, that’s true. People at home might experience devastating loss, but no one alive today has experienced a war being fought in the United States. That’s not to say Americans are all soft or privileged; people experience all kinds of horrible things: disease, high crime, accidents, personal tragedy, etc. But in the specific context of war, we’re pretty fortunate. We haven’t hosted one for more than a century.

Thank you.

You expressed what I wanted to say.

I wonder what the saints say about women in combat.

Oh wait.

I think the idea that it’s immoral for women to be in combat but sometimes moral for men to be would be moral relativism.
