but I don't think they should let women in combat zones”.
Probably what the 309 Germans killed by Lyudmila Pavlichenko and the 308 killed by Alexeyevna Lkovskaya thought as well. Their opinion is probably shared by the 12 Germans pilotes shot down by Lilya Litvyak, and by the 11 of Katya Budanovna

"You did, sarge", said Polly." You said you were in few last stands."
"Yeah, lad. But I was holding the metal"

Can it hold a weapon ?
Is it willing to use it to kill humans ?
If both check positive, that's pretty much all the qualities you need in a combatant. Everything else is really just decoration (well, and rationalization but let's not get too complicated).
"Let us remember that there are multiple theories of Intelligent Design. I and many others around the world are of the strong belief that the universe was created by a Flying Spaghetti Monster. --- Proof of the existence of the FSM, if needed, can be found in the recent uptick of global warming, earthquakes, hurricanes, and other natural disasters. Apparently His Pastaness is to be worshipped in full pirate regalia. The decline in worldwide pirate population over the past 200 years directly corresponds with the increase in global temperature. Here is a graph to illustrate the point."
