For example, MJ Hegar saved the lives of soldiers on the front lines in Afghanistan, was caught in cross-fire and fired her rifle herself, and earned herself a purple heart, all while "Excluded" from combat roles, Sergeant Leigh Ann Hester's unit ended up getting the Silver Star- the third highest award for battlefield valor while being "Excluded".
These are a couple of famous cases but there are loads more. When we know they already do the work, keeping them excluded is only a way to keep them from gaining recognition for doing so.
