You really should read the "Chicks in Chainmail" anthologies (edited by Esther Friesner), especially her comments about the background that started it (and the following books, too ;)) This whole discussion reminded me heavily of those books. Do you want a girl dressed up as tank? Or a Tank Girl ?
By the way, Alrik, the naked female Amazonian Warriors would probably be very successful in hands-on combat with every traditional male army (as long as they don't meet the Ultimate Gay Legion). And then they would simply put on their magically enhanced +500 AC Plate Microkini..
