Actually, I don't impose this. (Big surprise) But I believe we do agree on a set number of things. (As usual/probably)
My main issue with women in combat is the implications they might face when it comes to front lines and so forth:
The physical and mental differences. (This can be battled by giving the exact same treatment and physical challenges men have, and not softing down on anything. It's crucial this is actually followed though. They need to make the same qualifications men have in both strength, endurance, mentality and so forth in the area they specialize in.)
Periods. No I'm dead serious about this. We can't have someone bleeding the fuck out or dealing with PMS on the battlefield. They need to be on the pill, that way they won't bleed out or deal with pregnancies should they feel like having sex with someone although that should be strongly prohibited since romance in the army can lead to fucked up favoritism and so forth. In combat not doing the logical thing to save the lives of many vs. the lives of a few is a dangerous thing. This relates to gay relationships as well, I don't say that gay people shouldn't be in the army but there should be repercussions if they take place. If you can't handle asexual relations with your co-soldiers then you're not fit to be there, romance should be left home.
All women platoons and so forth. (These are specialized for specific tasks that don't fit in or doesn't qualify for other places in the army.)
Why do I think women should be a part of the army? They can be a great asset for many reasons. The majority (if not all, there are rare exceptions) is wired differently than men, critical thinking and problem solving and differing views/ways of solving an issue can be helpful to bring new ideas to light. Most are lighter/tinier in build and can fit into areas many men can't. Women want equality, well you got it and when it comes to meeting the qualifications you sure as hell should meet them. It isn't a playground.
Plus, having more women signing up would also mean more soldiers and/or people with different skill sets and can fulfill other areas the army has to offer that doesn't include close combat or the frontline as well. Intelligence, bomb specialists, media, medics etc.
