Women surely belong in the Armed Forces...they perform vital duties of all kinds.But they shouldn’t be in combat or even a combat zone (except,perhaps medical personnel and other specialized duties).I’ve never been in combat...or a combat zone...myself but I did serve during wartime so my opinion may,or may not,be worthy of consideration.
My father turned 18 during WWII. He had a leg injury as a child and was rejected by all branches when they saw the scar running the length of his left thigh. He barely had a limp, but the rules were all enlistees must be able to be infantry. He had always regretted not getting to serve.
He would say "They could have let me do something stateside. Somebody had to mail out pay checks and order supplies for the front lines."
