Most people would agree that women should not have a direct role in combat, i.e. the infantryman. With regard to the support MOS, restricting women from being in proximity to units engaged with the enemy, a two-tiered system develops. Fairness would require a concomitant two-tier pay/benefit system. Moreover, if there were not sufficient males to perform these duties, there could be a conscription of males as well as an exclusion of female volunteers.
The god-damned politicians need to keep their hands off before they create a nightmare.
I think women should be allowed in combat... Provided they meet all the requirements of the men.
And the standard must be set at the highest level (ie - the male standard).
It's just that you wouldn't see very many women in combat as they (mostly) would not be able to meet the standard.
The few that make it... Heck, they'd be just as strong and capable as the rest of the guys, so why not?

Above all, there should NEVER be a watered-down standard for the women.
