The main focus on women joining the combat unit should depend on their effective contribution to combat units. Most occupations in the armed forces are open equally to men and women; there are some jobs that are not physically suited for women. As people are already aware of the physical concerns of women to serve in combat alongside of men, there are no strong points to grant them this…
