When it comes to being drone operators or targets it’s probably a negligible difference

to add to this, under German law they very much are different in regards to mandatory military service. Neither the old nor the new laws contain mandatory military service for women leading to mandatory conscription being only an issue for men.

The hand to hand combat, super common in modern warfare, should probably be left up to the men. Great point.

No, to a bunch of neoliberal elite politicians, women aren't equal. And those same politicians won't ever serve, nor compulsed to serve, and/or will shield their families from serving unless they really want to.

But let's call it what it is: compulsed military service is slavery for the elite.
