It's true.
They've been in combat for years. Now they can get payment and credit for it, and be promoted to positions that require previous combat experience.

I did find it online thanks!
Either women are suitable for assignment into combat units or not. If the answer is that they are, which seems to be the point of this new directive, I can see no reason for them not to be eligible for the draft & involuntary assignment to combat units just as men are.
Tell me why the hell your little girl should not be subject to any future draft & assignment to an Infantry unit than my son?

More lawsuits, more talihooks, more BS when you're just trying to stay alive - & how they going to drag their wounded comrade/s to safety?

I have no problem with women serving in the same capacity as men. All I would ask is that there be a standardized test to measure the needs required to be an infantry person. If she can do the job why shouldn't she be allowed to.
I am not and have not served in the military so my statement is just an average citizens opinion.

Ditto that for me, including the qualifications for having an opinion.

The only problem I see is physical, specifically strength. Modesty, I guess, would not be a luxury for either sex.
