I know of a Malaysian MIO who served with the
British Army at the height of the Malaysian Emergency from the mid
1950s, than with the Malaysian Army during the Confrontation with
Indonesia during the 1960s, before fighting the Communists
Terrorists (CT) again during the 1970s.
CTs were both male and female, with female CTs fighting in the
thick of battle in the jungle, as well as leading them. He told me
that of all the CTs, the female CTs were usually more deadly than
the male CTs. As a MIO, part of his duty were to crack
CTs as well as to turn them in order to gain intelligence about CT
activities. He said that it was almost impossible to crack or turn
a female CT. It was possible to crack or turn a male CT, given time
and certain incentives. However, in his experience, try as they
might, they could never seem to crack a female CT. They were
prepared to die for their cause, no matter what you did to them.
And he said no matter what!
He told me of a time he lead a patrol which ambushed a CT patrol
in the jungle. Amongst the CT, was a heavily pregnant CT female.
She charged a Malay soldier who froze because he never expected
that a heavily pregnant female could do that. Luckily for him, he
manage to get off a shot which knocked her down. But she got up and
tried to charge him again. The MIO had to finish her
off with a shotgun blast!
In his opinion, female soldiers were as good as male soldiers,
perhaps better because they could be more focused and utterly
ruthless, as his own experience had shown. He also told me that
female Vietcongs were some of the most effective fighters during
the Vietnam War. This was related to him from the American soldiers
that he helped train during the course of the Vietnam War.
Just to add, he had an interesting connection with Singapore.
When fighting during the Confrontation, he was actually serving as
an officer with the Malaysian Infantry Regiment at the time
Singapore became independent. He told me that every officer was
given a personal request by the Singapore Government to stay on the
with the Regiment, with the promise of increased benefits and
faster promotion. However, he and a number of other officers,
decided not to. My impression was that they refused because they
wanted to continuing serving in a combat role (Confrontation only
ended in 1966).
Yes is possible they are more effective. As normally female base
on feel and emotion while male of logic... as such, what you define
maybe be true, as emotion tell them they suppose to behave this
way.
Also is more effective as any soldier with morality still
within, will sure hesitate in killing a female... is also because
of this hesitation makes the female more effective...
Likewise to morality, any soldier who fights along side female
troops high chance will see these female being kill, torture.. and
also this will break a male soldier and is male instint to wish to
protect and guard the female.. and is this instint mentally
torturing to see their fellow female being killded.. chances they
will end up feeling if the cant even protect the female beside
them, who are they fighting for...
Because of all this mental issues, many countires hesitate to
put female in front line..US front line soldier was debate long
time before they are allow to, and only in certain units and not
open to all combat units...
On top of all, the trouble needed in camp and in field to cater
to female is terrible.. any one who went out field with female
before will know....
