Females in military combat roles?

Currently, female soldiers are not allowed to pick a combat MOS when they join the military. How would you feel if that ruling were reversed? Why or why not? One reason that I've heard against women in combat has nothing to do with a female's ability to respond appropriately if she were in combat and they realize that there are female soldiers that are in the top of their class in marksmanship, combatives, etc. Their issues have to do with the male instinct to want to protect the female in case she were wounded in combat which may put the male in danger of being injured or killed. I can see that being a legitimate concern. I know that soldiers are trained in what to do if the case arises where a fellow soldier is wounded, etc., but then a male's innate instinct might kick in if that soldier were a female and the outcome in what he does might be different, despite his training. There are jobs that female soldiers hold that put them in danger anyway (medics), plus women are assigned to patrol units which are susceptible to IEDs and enemy attacks. It has been said that there are no front lines in the wars in Iraq & Afghanistan; however, when a unit goes out on a mission they stay at an outpost away from the main forward operating base. To me, that is a "front line". Anyway, I was just wondering what others thought about the subject.
