Incrementalism will possibly resolve this, before and despite whether it should be, in favor of those who have been picking the scab over the decades - they've had a lot of success being "oppressed minorities".

Thousands of women are in combat situations already, and doing just fine.

Foxhole/bunker combat arms, however? I'd probably be against that unless the unit was all-female. But then, what the hell do I know... have gotten accustomed to being ignored by Congress.

Without any questioning of their valor or skills, there are way too many probabilities that their presence under that unique kind of duress could easily result in some "civil rights" privacy claim and "harassment" nonsense that I do not believe the DoD wants to expose itself to. Unlike submarines and fighter pilots there are NO separate but equal facilities out there!

I sure as hell would not allow it if it were my choice to make. All-female units, then quite possibly yes. Of course, they would never permit that because it would be regarded as being treated "unequal", mission be damned.
