Women in military combat roles?

[k9870]

For spec ops its a no go. Theres the higher chance of capture and things going to shit, and captors will try to get information out of the men by using the woman as leverage. Its mens natural instinct to protect women. This is one reason the military doesn't do it.

For standard combat, like patrols around Iraq and such, why not? I know people who were deployed and saw women in combat, one who took 8 gunshot wounds on convoy escort and kept on firing away at terrorists. I will say however, women should be required to do what a man can do. The whole "since tehre women they can do less pushups and a longer timed run" is shit. But if they can do the same requirements as a man, they can do the same job.
