I think the question can be evaluted from two levels: individual level in terms of rights and suitability, and at this level (as I stated in my previous post) there is absolutely no reason for women not to enter military. You can view it as equal rights: why should women and not men be denied if they want to fight, and why should men but not women be forced to fight?
Then you can evaluate it from a social level, in terms of broader national or even global interests, and that's where my reproduction issue comes in.
No slashing on tendons
