Even before women were allowed in combat roles, a group of female soldiers gained crucial information for special operations units.

I think this is great. Women should absolutely be utilized strategically, especially in situations where they can accomplish something men can't. Like it or not, gender roles exist and will continue to exist. If someone wanted to exploit the fact that I'm decent(ish)-looking woman in my mid twenties for an undercover mission....military, FBI, ICE, or otherwise....I'd jump at the chance!

As far as women on the front lines....if they want to do it and they prove they have what it takes, what's the big deal?
