Is this being done primarily so military women can receive citations?
I'm not sure I understand why in this time of complete equality that women are not allowed to serve in any capacity as a man? And why are women exempt from conscription? That's not equality.
I agree with this guy's comments

Infantry vet here, Hey as long as the rules remain the same and a woman is willing to be in the field for 2 weeks at a time without a shower, cleaning with wetnaps and a few drops from a canteen then sure. I also feel there should be a combat MOS PT test vs the Male/Female PT test. Reason on the latter is that if someone else goes down most non-combat personal would not be in the shape required to fireman carry a 180LB infantry guy with battle armor 100meters and if a female is going into that MOS that requirement should stay. As long as that is met I have no other complaints about them serving in any capacity they qualify for.
