Who said they have not been? The Russian people were hemorrhaging. The act of sending women to war was an act of desperation. There is no correlation to the modern US military.
I would say that the correlation is that the US could not fill its ranks without females. Whether those females should be in combat arms is a different discussion. I have my own beliefs and my reasons have not been addressed here.
Considering that a lot of combat takes place in civilian areas with women present, I think it would be beneficial to have some women soldiers/marines present. For example, if female civilians need to be pat down for weapons.

The Marine Corps had that in Iraq. The Lioness program. It was filled with women from non-combat positions.
Women are not "inferior" tanks. I truly do not understand why you are putting down females who are in combat roles.
Women have less muscle mass, particularly upper body (thus less brute physical strength), their reaction times are less and men have an easily aroused sexuality. A woman in the midst of a high testosterone situation (such as combat) is a distraction to men and decreases their combat effectiveness.

I agree with you 100%. This is the one position I 100% support women serving in. Even if it means compromising standards.

Women can serve well in support units but "compromising standards" is something I cannot agree to.
