the psychological aspects alone make this a bad idea. women shouldn't be on the front line, it makes them a target on the enemy side, as the whole "women are weaker" stigmata is a thing, and this effects the priority of male soldiers when it comes to getting people out of enemy fire, or dragging someone to a medical team.

on the physical side (based on the requirement differences on the fitness tests), most women won't be able to drag their squad mates out of enemy fire, and be physically weaker compared in most cases, this will increase casualties in every fire fight.

Honestly, the best place for a woman in the army would be a support role, or in an artillery role, not out there on the front lines.

That's an important issue in the army. Why would anyone rape anybody; especially on your own side? The problem isn't just the chances a woman has of getting raped, but in general that anyone in the army runs a risk of getting raped, especially by allies. That's touching an issue which as a whole is a behemoth. Especially the way that the male cases are handled isn't great either.

and in general women in the military are about three times more likely to be raped - especially by the enemy.

I just think that equality implies a lot of things, including tackling on big problems such as rape. Excluding some men-related issues or women-related issues on the subject won't ever bring something good.

Apparently there's a lot more homos than we think.

Yes. Who would dare put up a fight?
