The "average female" is unlikely to make a lifetime career of the military in the first place, and less likely to seek or need "combat experience" (which can be defined quite loosely).

Women who seek combat-unit assignments shouldn't be prevented from doing so simply because they're women. If they can meet the requirements, they can do the job.

Soviet women successfully flew combat aircraft in WWII. Right now, Kurdish women are fighting of their own free will as uniformed, gun-toting infantry against ISIS/ISIL (now to be called "Daesh," according to today's news). They seem to be quite effective.

While wars are certainly caused by greedy, ambitious SOBs, what should the people they target do about it, if not fight?
