I'd like to know how we've proven this. Beyond brash assertions by cocktail sipping beltway feminists I know of nothing that qualifies as an assessment of females in sustained combat operations. The reason for this is simple: At no time during the past 10 years has the U.S. military been involved in sustained infantry centric combat on the order of World War II, Korea, and Vietnam. Women have performed well in the type of combat experienced in Iraq and in parts of Afghanistan, but they were not infantry soldiers and were not subject to the physical demands of long term infantry combat operations.
Liberal feminists just want another scalp on their belt, they would never volunteer to serve in the military, and even less volunteer to serve in the infantry. They just want to flex their political power in order to intimidate government to provide them with the financial and competitive advantages of being declared a favored group. This also helps to destroy our military, one of the few institutions not yet destroyed by the plague of liberalism.

Brief HumVee sweeps outside the wire of a fortified FOB do not meet the definition of sustained infantry operations. More like combat tourist.
