I agree to some extent ... as long as the women that will be sent into combat can meet ALL the standards, both physical and psychological that are required by the men.
And they should understand that if captured by the enemy they will most probably be raped and subjected to the vilest handling imaginable. Not my perverse thoughts, just the way Allah’s best treat women, especially women that defy them.
Doesn’t sound like a “woman” that can carry a 80 pound pack for days on end is going to be a rape victim .....
