Good question, but a poor argument. When military units were desegregated it was politicaly expedient to do so, and yes it caused alot of problems. That is in the past, in todays Army (I cannot speak for the other branches) racism is pretty much a moot point. The social dynamic of race, however, is a far cry from that of gender. Women, or rather the gender issues surrounding them, cause enough problems in support roles in the military, let alone if they were placed in combat units.
