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.

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.
