I agree ,but that is reactive not preventative.There are already sound preventative measures in place that have served just about every armed service in the world so why change ? .Simply saying that men should be equal to women does not wash .The fact is that men and women are not equal in many respects and can never be

If a soldier cannot control themselves in battle then they have no business being a soldier, it is they and not the object of their affection (i.e 'the bird') who is at fault.
I'm not saying that woman are not capable of pulling the trigger as good as men ,i am saying that human nature is not governed by rules and regulations .Rules and regulations are there to deal with human nature when it takes over and causes problems for others
