They would make the Yank's attempts at interrogation look very tame.
Water boarding? Piece of piss.

On patrol, your unit rests up for 20mins to get something to eat and drink, have a crap etc. Which woman is going to take a shit in front of 30 blokes unless she's some kind of f**ked up German porn star? That's just one example.

Of course. It's all the practical things as well:

Re: Women on the front-line in Afghanistan?
I was in the KINGS for a while and also a Signals regiment. Certainly some of the Signals roles could be done by women, probably are already, but I'm not convinced about their place in an infantry regiment.
It will happen though. It will be interesting to see how Australia reacts, the first time it sees one of its female combat troops return home, with part of her face missing.

My snickering floppy eared hound was never around when needed... and that daft bugger Klunk, I think he was Irish, well I could never understand a bloody word he said... so that pigeon always got away.
