Perhaps things are much different in these current wars, but I spent the entire year of 1967 with the 4th Infantry Division in the central highlands of Vietnam. Of the 358 days I was in country, 4 were spent on R&R and one night at the 4th Base Camp. The other 353 were in the field. Perhaps 2/3 of those were at our Fire Base, which was moved around twice a month. While there and not on guard, we slept in sandbagged bunkers. A crude outhouse had to be dug out at each location. Sometimes we had a shower, which was really a barrel about 10 feet in the air, wide open to the elements. While on a mission, of course there are no facilities, so hygiene is truly a personal responsibility. At night a squad will usually have 50 percent alert, and the others will pair up and dig deep enough to be below ground level and try to sleep in a very confined area. I just can't picture this type of situation working "coed" wise. I would suggest, if this total folly is actually attempted, the women have their own combat units.
