Of course some men don't want women on the front lines. When their back home telling war stories to their non combat buddies they might have to admit some woman solder saved their ass because she was a better shot then the men were.
I also don't think women want to be on the front lines because they want to get laid. Most women don't have a problem finding a sex partners no matter where they happen to be.
The never mentioned fact is that quite a few female soldiers did quite well financially from our deployments due to the lack of indigeneous prostitutes.
It is a bad idea, but there is a positive side. It will weed out the weaker women that don't want to go to combat but still want a career in the military. I saw it in the Navy back when I was in the service. Women loved the Navy, until they had to go to sea, for repeated tours, especially after they got married and had children. It made it much more fair for the men by treating women like men. So, go to combat, or get out.

Someone is always going to be the weakest person in a group. Resentment will build when it becomes evident it is always the female.

As a conservative I have no problems with women serving in a combat MOS, providing they are required to sign up with the Selective Service just like men, are drafted (if a draft is ever reinstated) just like men, and are required to undergo the exact same training as men. If not, then they are not only a danger to themselves, but also a danger to everyone else around them.
However, I serious doubt they will receive the same training as men. That is certainly not the case today. Women only have to meet half the physical requirements men must meet (at least in the Marine Corps), which is why they have separate boot camps.
Since Democrats are hypocrites when it concerns equality and utterly despise the military, I can only conclude that the reason for allowing unqualified women in combat MOS positions is to ensure more American military deaths, lower morale in the military, and make the military as ineffectual as possible.
But I'm so in touch with my feelings.
I feel my feelings so intensely, I can't help but trying to reach out and touch your feelings with my feelings . . .
So far I haven't read any good excuse about preventing women from serving in combat. They are the ones that saved Europe from Hitler since tens of thousands, if not much more, served in the Red Army that repelled Hitler's invasion

There were few red army women on the front lines, this is a myth.
And I gave a reason that everyone ignored:
Men would be so busy chasing skirt and competing with other men for the few women around them, it'd destroy moral. Inevitably a couple men will be the lucky ones, the rest will hold grudges, showboat for the women, etc. If women are to serve, segregate.

If women can carry 75 Lbs plus of body armor plus weapon/ammo and camel pack in 110 degree weather (all day and often thru the night) - then let them. Many men can't even do this, so I doubt the percentage of women will be very high that can. But, if they want the opportunity . . . well, here you go. For every woman who can make it, it may be one more man that lives or comes back not totally f&$*ed up. But, I would recommend a non-politically correct study be done on the effects this has on women (like they do for the men). It will be a good (if not sad) read.
Nobody (AFAIK) is trying to pretend they're interchangeable... as a proud woman, I actually find that concept rather offensive. But if a woman can perform the duties, pass the physical tests, etc, she should have EQUAL rights to be in combat if she chooses. Why should men only get the option of trying? And don't give me that nonsense about "men not being able to focus around women," because that is basically a Sharia/Hasidic type of attitude - in other words, incredibly misogynistic and archaic. If a man (or woman) can't control their hormones in a combat situation, they have no place being there anyway.
So woman should have equal rights to be in combat if she chooses? That is not equal rights, can a minority man refuse to fight with out being put into the brigg or killed? if you put on the uniform you have agreed to defend your country, right? So how can a woman just choose combat if she wants? that is preferential treatment. Woman should be made to storm a Normandy beach and get shot up just like the men there should be no choice.
