Yes as long as enough training is done, to prevent the man from risking mission success to save the woman's life. But really women should be able to fight the same as men.

Women who have served in combat are 135 times more likely to suffer from PTSD

 @9K5QVFK answered…1mo1MO

Yes, but ideally in separate combat units, to stop the risk of men risking the success of a mission and to prevent sexual assault and sexism that is prevalent in the military

 @92GKS3Banswered…2yrs2Y

No, and non-binary people and men should also be banned from combat roles

 @92GGL8Ranswered…2yrs2Y

No one should be in the military because the military is an oppressive institution by design.

 @8Z736C4answered…2yrs2Y

Men are shown to be significantly better in combat roles, but yes, women should be allowed. However, they should only be allowed if they’re capable of performing to the same standard (something which isn’t the case currently, because they dropped the standards for women)

 @8YMV9DSanswered…2yrs2Y

Yes, as long as they meet the requirements we hold men to. (E.g being physically capable enough regardless of gender)

 @8YM252KSNPanswered…2yrs2Y

 @8XKW8JWanswered…2yrs2Y

Yes, provided that they can pass a universal physical test that would prove their abilities in the field.

 @8XKNPD7answered…2yrs2Y

Yes, as long as they are able to prove the capability of performing the role as preventing women from serving in combat roles is discriminatory.

 @8WGNKP5Greenanswered…2yrs2Y

I don't think women should be in the military because I don't think men should be in the military, as a pacifist, I don't believe in the military.

 @8W2LQM3answered…3yrs3Y

I don't think anyone, including men, should serve in combat roles unless in the most extreme emergency and only as defence forces.

 @DAVIEBrexitanswered…3yrs3Y

Things would currently stay as they are, unless a petition was put forward and successful in getting a particular question asked to the public.

 @8VSXBJ7answered…3yrs3Y

They should make women only combat teams and men only combat teams as they perform much better and almost equally in their performance

 @8VMT5SJanswered…3yrs3Y

No-one should participate in combat roles, the army should be abolished.

 @8VD8XR5answered…3yrs3Y

Yes but abolish the offensive wing and operations of the military, have the military be defensive only

 @8TZ4FFXanswered…3yrs3Y

yes, but in separate units from men for it has been shown that combat performance drops with mixed units.

 @8TKCZ7TWomen's Equalityanswered…3yrs3Y

Yes, but include more equitable roles for women rather than matching roles.

 @8TJ7CYHanswered…3yrs3Y

Yes after studies are done to assess whether effectiveness is not compromised

 @8SVM5L4answered…3yrs3Y

Yes, the military should not prevent the best people of any sex/gender from serving in combat roles.

 @8SPDPGZanswered…3yrs3Y

Only If they want to and can pass the tests for the relevant role they want to take up and provide them with support for reducing the risk of sexual assault

 @8SH22KQanswered…3yrs3Y

Yes, but only if they are held up to the same standered and same test standards

 @8S8JCMKLabouranswered…3yrs3Y

Yes, Preventing women from serving in combat roles is discriminatory, but I do not support the military

 @8S4MZ3Kanswered…3yrs3Y

Modern warfare is not fought with a sword and shield and the modern warfighter engages in conflict through strategy, tactical protocols and gear enhancement which is designed to ensure a specific theater/combat domain advantage.
Once social prejudice is eliminated and when the warfighter is placed in a role and with a complimentary team suitable for his/her/their distinct abilities, talents and skills, problems like sexual assault, machoism and very specific fitness (as distinct from health), disappears.
The future of modern warfare will be determined by fine tolerances, situational awareness, unmanned delivery systems and technologically enhanced performance.
The presence of diverse frontline combatants results in the direct advancement of capability, adaptability and strategic advantage.

 @8RX72N3answered…3yrs3Y

Yes, as long as the correct precautions have been taken to safeguard them.

 @8RWK8PDanswered…3yrs3Y

yes as long as they can pass the same physical tests as men and we don't lower the standards just to get more women in

 @8RW4TKWanswered…3yrs3Y

Yes, as long as they pass the appropriate training and physical tests. Gender should not be an issue.

 @8RD23JQanswered…3yrs3Y

As an ex servicewoman, I fully support women in combat roles.... there are all kinds of combat roles where women could be a benefit

 @8QXZ2HHanswered…3yrs3Y

I believe it should be a military assessed role and that of the military community

 @Elyspethiananswered…3yrs3Y

Yes, as long as they pass the same physical, psychological and physiological tests as their male compatriots—alongside that differentiations in biology do, to some degree/in some cases, impact field ability; alongside accessing varying jobs within the army which attest to said differences and aid the overall units. Furthermore, gender identity within various cultural fields could also impact upon the treatment of female soldiers, however, due to the socialisation process alongside underlying anthropological factors, may be a credit to the team at hand; possibly creating more humanitarian, calmer situations and outcomes.
