I totally agree. Not to mention the fact that the "hero factor" would go up, when some guy is trying to be brave and whatnot infront of the few chicks of the unit. Also, its not uncommon for urban combat to involve hand-to-hand combat. And like it or not, men are stronger, better fighters.
Their simply is not enough reason to PUT women on the front lines, when they could be better served elsewhere. There are enough men to do the job, so be it. It's not sexist to say that women are not as good of soldiers as men are, simply put, they are not. Besides the fact that a soldier is supposed to do one thing, follow orders. And that order is usually to kill. If he is distracted by a woman in the unit that he likes, he will do a lesser job as a soldier. That in turn could get the entire unit killed.
Not to mention the fact that it would just further infuriate the islamic world.
