You'll like or dislike whatever you're told, Leroy. Women in combat have been a thing since your DL was in power.

On September 25, 2017, an anonymous woman, later revealed to be 1st Lt. Marina Hierl, became the first to complete the United States Marine Corps' Infantry Officer Course at Marine Corps Base Quantico in Quantico, Virginia and become the first female Marine infantry officer.[90][91] The U.S. Marine Corps Depot in Parris Island, South Carolina has trained female U.S. marine recruits in female Marine units since 1949.[92][93][94] On December 14, 2020, it was revealed that the previously all-male Marine Corps Recruit Depot San Diego agreed to join the Marine Corps Recruit Depot Parris Island in accepting female recruits, with 60 female recruits beginning their training in February 2021

QUANTICO, Virginia --

A female Marine officer made history today at Quantico, Va. by completing the Infantry Officer Course and earning the infantry officer military occupational specialty.  (25 Sep 2017)

The lieutenant, who asked to keep her identity private, is the first female officer to successfully complete the course since the Marine Corps opened all military occupational specialties to women.

“Marines expect and rightfully deserve competent and capable leaders, and these IOC graduates met every training requirement as they prepare for the next challenge of leading infantry Marines; ultimately, in combat,” said Neller.

Oh dear.  September 2017?

I guess Leroy will have to change his mind now.

Sgt Alice Smith 'Platoon, open fire, 200m.'
Private Jenny Bogan 'That's got them pinned down, sarge'
Leroy 'Excuse me ladies, it's not that I'm fussy but you ought to be male. Can you get some here instead? I don't want you shooting'.

Premenstrual syndrome as a criminal defense
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/2260910/

Abstract

Premenstrual syndrome may be effective as an affirmative defense to a criminal charge if the defendant can show that (i) she was suffering from premenstrual syndrome at the time the crime was committed; and (ii) because of her condition, either that the criminal act was an involuntary act or that at the time of the criminal act she did not possess the mental state required by law for the commission of a crime. Premenstrual syndrome has been successfully pleaded as a criminal defense in Great Britain but has not been tested in American criminal courts. It may now be possible, however, because of the increase of behavioral, psychological, and physiological studies precisely characterizing premenstrual syndrome and elucidating the necessary criteria for its accurate diagnosis, for the appropriate defendant to assert this defense in an American court. This paper discusses (i) the use of recent scientific data to demonstrate the existence of premenstrual syndrome; (ii) the use of standardized psychological tests or physiological assays to demonstrate that the defendant suffers from premenstrual syndrome; and, (iii) the legal choices to be made and evidentiary hurdles that must be overcome in presenting a premenstrual syndrome defense‘

The rape factor is pertinent as not all potential enemies care two hoots about war crimes.

You still seem to be suffering ‘’Long bayonet’’ syndrome.

If you want to see women in combat then thats your desire, its not mine. I don't want to see women in combat.

Can't be any more clearer than that.

After talking this over with my wife, we've decided that Leroy is in fact entitled to his opinion, on this occasion. Go ahead Leroy.

Any linky to American, Australian, British, French, Canadian lady soldiers shooting at the enemy on the ground and being shot at in return - ie  IN COMBAT.
