Another ridiculous supposition.

All units are combat units when in a combat theater or have you not been paying attention for the last 9 years?.

Traditional “low combat probability” jobs are not any longer. Maintainers, Transporters, Logistics all are in the mix, especially as the asymmetrical aspect of resistance against our forces increases-the underbelly IS the target, the badguys know they cannot win against our maneuver forces, so they do not attempt. Warfare will continue to be as such, probably widening in that respect.

In order to remove females from combat probability, we would need to forbid them from ever leaving the FOB, making them irrelevant and a burden....

If we want to protect or prohibit females from “combat”, then we must forbid military service by them.

Your arguments don’t and wont change my experiences as an Infantryman. If you want to ban females from the military, then that is a choice I can live with.
