Should the military allow women to serve in combat roles?

Israel has show this not only endangers the mission but also the safety of the Operators, Women should be allowed in Military for Supporting Roles and Covert Operations.

Use a Women's strengths don't pretend she is a man.. they have better logistics and management skills but that doesn't blend into Active Duty Squad Management in a FireFight.

Providing they pass the physical and mental requirements and standards aren’t dropped for them

Depends on the definition of combat role. Infantry absolutely not. Fighter pilot absolutely.

Nobody should serve in combat roles. Abolish the military.

Man is to fight and women to take care of the family

If they are strong and shoot stright

Yes, As long as the can pass all of the tests that men are required to pass including physical, emotional and psychological

No, I do not support the military

Women are incompetent

I think the military should be abolished completely, so men shouldn't serve either

Regardless of sex or gender, anyone that can meet the minimum requirements for service should be permitted to serve.

As long as the indiviual is trained well and is as trusted as any other solider for the mission given and/or situation, then gender should not matter if they can reliably do what is needed to be done. But Women shouldn't not be subjucted to be the first in as Men are biological stronger this can cause issue in a close quaters situation with someone that has a biological body mass advantage, unless they have proven that they can over come any situation such as this.

yes, as long as they are mentally and physically fit to do so and there are sexual assault preventions in place.

Women should be allowed to serve in combat roles but having the Australian military is a waste of taxpayer money and we should instead use some of the military funding to fund effective and dedicated humanitarian aid or education

Ok for female medics, nurses and other humanitarian workers within the defence force

Yes but I take moral issue with the military in general

Yes, Anyone who is willing and capable with sound mind and body should be able to defend the country if necessary.
