But I do have concerns about women in front-line combat. I think that could be a very compromising situation, where— where people naturally may do things that may not be in the interest of the mission because of other types of emotions that are involved. And I think that's probably— It already happens, of course, with the camaraderie of men in combat, but it's— I think it would be even more unique if women were in combat, and I think that's not in the best interests of men, women or the mission.

Phyllis Schlafly
Le mariage est un combat ? outrage avant lequel les deux époux demandent au ciel sa bénédiction, parce que s'aimer toujours est la plus téméraire des entreprises; le combat ne tarde pas ? commencer, et la victoire, c'est-?-dire la liberté, demeure au plus adroit.
Honore de Balzac
The way to combat noxious ideas is with other ideas. The way to combat falsehoods is with truth.
William O. Douglas
A relationship with no combat in it is dull, and a relationship with too much combat in it is toxic. What is desirable is a relationship with a certain optimum of conflict.
