(493 posts)(prostitution) is one of the main reasons why I do not support female soldiers being combat troops. It's pretty much the only reason why I do not support them being in combat positions.
Take for instance what I experienced...I know out of 110 of us in my battery we went at least 45 days of not even seeing a female..period! I don't care how much "salt peter" they dump in our food you are gonna get a lot of jacked up levels of testosterone (And we wrongly accuse soldiers of having this problem when it's really just nature working on us). Put a few female soldiers in this type of scenario and prostitution will run rampant. I'd also like to say that outside of prostitution running rampant "over-all cleanliness" is a problem. I know we went around 31-34 days with no water to use to clean ourselves with....I mean we literally did not even get to use a wet cloth to wipe ourselves off with for nearly a month....I think the male species is better suited for these types of scenarios vs the female species. I do not think they should be subjected to this type of scenario.
Even in garrison (not in a combat zone) the majority of the females I knew in the military were pretty damn promiscuous...I'd say at least 5X times the normal occurrence in the civilian world. I only dated a female soldier for a week or so, I ended it because I really didn't care for her having 4-5 other boy friends at the same time...was worried about catching a disease.
