I beg your pardon but plenty of women in uniform have indeed asked for this precisely

Not very many, I think four and only one was enlisted. All this will do is push more women into the Navy and Air Force. Everyone in uniform knows that regardless of your job or branch that you have a bullseyes painted on your back.

I could attest that women don't really hold up in stressful environments and I have never been in a combat situation. I have seen female supervisors break down and cry. All the bravado is from pilots or officer types.

Those who want it desire it for career advancement

Not something military should exist for actually

And yes i know as a rule women do not handle stress well...or as well
The damage to our culture and military is neverending

On the other what if everyone wantef to be spared combat?

Which is why we used women more rationally in WWII when it truly mattered
