"I think that could be a very compromising situation, where people naturally may do things that may not be in the interest of the mission because of other types of emotions that are involved. It already happens of course with the camaraderie of men in combat, but I think it would be even more unique if women were in combat, and I think that's probably not in the best interests of men, women, or the mission."
— Rick Santorum on women in combat
The Israelis have an integrated army. I believe the Russians do. Many countries let women serve in combat roles. And we, 'the free-est country in the world', do not. Using Mr. Google Search Problem's logic, we'd have fire companies not responding to fires because the mixed gender crews would be having sex, likewise police response would be impared. Even Congress would have problems with Congressmen having sex with pages and interns. Oh, wait a minute. Disregard that last example.
