I re-read this thing over and over again and I cannot see where and how you can imply that women are being accepted/tasked into the combat arms. They're in the same area but not in the same unit and certainly not withe same taskings. This is still a forward support company which by classification is a combat support company which again women have been allowed in for the longest time.
Again, this has NOTHING to do with the combat arms. The women are in the FORWARD SUPPORT COMPANY with totally different taskings. Yes, they can pick up a rifle but unless under the most dire circumstances, (ie, do or die), they would not be allowed nor ordered to take the enemy head on.
In fact, I don't see a problem. They're not integrated into an infantry company.
Again, women will be exposed to combat. This is just one such scenario. I can think of a few more. PFC Lynch's is another example.
