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

I want women to have access to the same options as men, but I don't think anyone should go to combat.

No. It's tough one. I'm all for equality and women can go into any field they like. However, the reality of war is horrific. A captured women would be subjected to far worse than a man, don't want to imagine. Also the gruesome death of a women on front line could be far worst for morale, impact other soldiers worse than that of man. Women should run the all the militaries around the globe - probably have far fewer conflicts.

Yes, if they are clearly capable of service, then there shouldn't be any reason to not allow them to.

 @9J5M5XTanswered…2yrs2Y

Women should be allowed in all roles except for front-line combat, as a captured female combatant is at a higher risk for bodily assault than a male soldier.
