So even though the female soldiers were not on the front line they still ended up in combat. And in Islamic states a lot of women won't talk to men who are not family.
Anyway, what about the Iraqi kurds fighting Isis? Half of those soldiers are women.
Ironically, the thing that made women so useful to US combat units has led Afghanistan to have entirely-female units, and even among American soldiers (according to Yakherder, a combat vet on the TTA forum), they are known as fierce fighters and devoted professional soldiers.
Even the USMC, the most notorious "boy's club" in the US military, has quietly begun to field female combat teams. Quote:
"One thing's for sure: The female-engagement teams are redefining war — transforming women into pivotal influencers on the front lines."

I replied: Can I refuse? Because I find the entire concept of vicarious blood sacrifice atonement to be morally abhorrent, the concept of holding flawed creatures permanently accountable for social misbehaviors and thought crimes to be morally abhorrent, and the concept of calling something "free" when it comes with the strings of subjugation and obedience perhaps the most morally abhorrent of all... and that's without even going into the history of justifying genocide, slavery, rape, misogyny, religious intolerance, and suppression of free speech which has been attributed by your own scriptures to your deity. I want a refund. I would burn happily rather than serve the monster you profess to love.
