and on that note the main reason they dont want females in combat positions is because they are more prone to infections than males are because they cant clean for sometimes weeks and if a female doesnt get clean within a certain time they can get uti's and all kinds of nasty stuff guys dont get as often as women and for the fact that some women cannot handle the high stress levels combat may present.they do tests and its not that they dont want females and being sexist its just they are doing it for their well being
