You don't think the army is controlled by men?? Women are not permitted to die in war because they are not considered worthy of the honour. To you and me perhaps it would not be an honour at all to die for some stupid government. But to many men throughout history it has been. Megabytes have been written about how glorious it is to die in war. If you disagree, give me any number of K-bytes and I will post MORE than that many K-bytes of "I would like to die in war" stuff, all authentic etc.
