"No, but like VVV said, the varied issues of men vs. women in combat have been hacked to death."

This article to me was more about how women react to combat than how women react to combat vs. men.

I can tell you one thing NOT mentioned in the article that i'd bet big money causes extra problems for some women is the extra attention they get from the press and such. As an example, how many of you knows the names of any of the troops from the 505th besides Jessica Lynch?

Being singled out for such attention when you feel inside you did nothing special(especially when people in their rush to annoit you a hero make up all kinds of glorious crap) is a sure fire way to cause additional deep emotional stress.
