The only problem I see with women in combat roles relates to men, and the psychological impact a wounded woman has on the kind of man who joins the military. The Israeli Defense Force did not allow women to join for over half a century, mainly because they noticed that when a female squadmate was injured, it became nearly impossible for the men in her unit to remain rational and follow orders efficiently. Of course, the IDF has been conscripting women alongside men on an experimental basis since 2001, but the question remains: Is the desire of women to be in combat roles compatible with the almost instinctual response in any decent man to help a "damsel in distress?" I suppose the only way we can find out is to try.

A soldier isn't meant to be a person, gender, idendity, emotion, and all that other good stuff aren't what a soldier is. They're meant to be completely alike, it's why rank and uniform is more important than bust size or "shoe size." It's a non-question you've asked because gender doesn't enter into being a soldier in the first place.
