AXn attempt will be made here to probe our explicit and intuitive theoretical assumptions about the employment of in the armed forces, and more specifically in combat. The intent would be to sort out some basic issues of social policy and social choice that to date have accounted for a seemingly world-wide aversion to women in combat; if there are trends away from this aversion, they may have very important implications for foreign and military policies, as well as for equal rights for women. How much of our aversion to military employment for females has been due to societal attitudes that should not be involved in killing and destruction, that they should be sheltered as somehow more pure and humane than men? How much instead has been due to fears that sexual morality would be compromised when and men were brought together in battlefield situations? How much is due to any need for physical stamina that the female could not satisfy
