Are our forces ready to go to combat against women (North Korea made compulsory service 2 years ago)?

We Americans have a sort of mental mindset against killing women and children for that fact if they represent a threat. What needs to be instilled is that it's them or me in a hostile situation. Since I love me and won't let anything happen to me, I would kill any woman (or child so armed) tasked with my demise. It is what I call our sense of fair play and giving the other guy a chance. In the end is comes down to the fact there are two rules in war.

Rule 1. Good people die.
Rule 2. You cannot change Rule 1.

That should not be an issue.

I would view that as a tactical advantage and exploit it is possible. I am not sure how NK deploys it's women. Do they fill the ranks or do they have stand alone units. Are any of these infantry or all support etc.

My guess is, based upon what I have read, the women in the NK army are abused, assaulted, raped etc. and likely are not going to be a highly motivated fighting force.

The way I look at it is this...I am staring down a barrel and rounds are coming at me...I don't care if the shooter is a woman or a man...all I see is that they are trying to kill me and self preservation kicks in to shoot back...period. I don't see an issue here.
