Go for it, several times at once. No single test case that can be made to succeed or fail due to outside influence type stuff.

Funnily enough, hubby and I talked about this today and these were all his main arguments (he was Marine Corps infantry)....and said that an all female combat unit would be just fine, but the co-ed ones just wouldn't work that well.
