The most important reason that women should not be in combat units has to do with the Chivalric code, that has brought out the best in Western Warriors for over a thousand years. Men are supposed to protect women. You trash that ethic, you destroy the call for courage and sacrifice above and beyond the mere orders of the moment.

It was President Clinton, of course, who really used the American military to make social statement. And it was for that that he really should have been impeached (an removed from office). (See Abuse Of Power.)
We are at a point of cultural crisis in the West. And we are in very real danger of losing the non-material fruits of the upward struggle of a score of generations. If we lose the spiritual and philosophic aspects of that achievement, the material ones will not be long in flowing down the same drain, as the whole social infra-structure collapses.

I think the best reason not to put women in combat was because there are men there and they rape women. This is common right now in Iraq and technically women aren’t in combat yet.
