Never served in the military, but have had to manage disputes between genders at the office.

I can point out, in many private businesses and corporations, it's policy that people in relationships can not work together in the same office. It's done to prevent conflicts of interest and favoritism.

In the military, where the stakes are much higher, I would think that would be a policy as well. Woman gets pregnant by someone in her unit, both she & the father get kicked out.

I can see that in some cases, a woman could be an asset to a combat unit, for example when they have to interact with civilian women who can't or won't talk to men. But women who could hold their own in hand-to-hand combat are going to be quite rare, even more rare than specs ops types.
