Women are weaker, physically. They don't have the upper body strength or the endurance. Show me a woman who is abnormally strong, I'll find you 10 men who are stronger.
Emotionally, women break down. They cry; they react emotionally. Women are psychologically unable to compartmentalize traumatic situations under combat conditions. They process events emotionally. That's the nature of women, and it's a blessing when it comes to so many other aspects in life - but not in combat.
hygiene is an issue. Especially in the field over an extended period of time.
The focus, and attention of the other soldiers in the unit is at stake - this means the personal safety of every soldier who might feel attracted to, or protective of, a female in his unit.
Pregnancy in the field is an issue... the Navy is dealing with it on ships. It gets lonely in the field and safety can even become an issue.
Torture of an American female soldier is ugly. Rape is a real possibility in those situations... multiple rape. Putting a woman into a combat unit increases the chances of that exponentially.
Women in Combat would significantly diminish the combat effectiveness of our Combat Forces (Combat Arms, Special Forces).
Yes, yes, all very good reasons. It just conflicts with my libertarian/progressive/equal-opportunity side, but still...chicks with guns! C'mon, that's hot!
