Women in Combat?

[MR2]

I've taken a fashion to Tom Kratman's fiction. I'm reading The Amazon Legion which is part of a series. This book could stand alone and is about raising, training, deploying up to a battalion of female troops in an alternate Earth SciFi genre. Kratman, a retired Mech LTC and now lawyer, uses this alternative Earth setting to illustrate his points and opinions on the conduct of war, GWOT, Islamism, and integration of women and GBLT into the armed services.

I dare say his books will strike a similar cord with this August body.
