Could/Should the Army require a female to have an embedded Contraceptive, such as a Norplant, to serve in traditional male MOSs? Edited

SMA Daly has addressed the Non-deployable, and with the females being augmented to SF ODA as their role direct them, and the many, many discussions about women in other international armies, (ie Israel Defense Forces, Belize Defense Forces) being in a Direct Actions units, "would this dog Hunt"? Would this help with hygiene?
EDITED for clarification,
This might be better to be filed under " just because I can, doesn't mean I should", post this question. This was posted after a conversation with my wife about her experience in the Army while in a "field" environment.
I was only thinking of a strictly Tactical frame of mind.
I have served in Co-ed units ie. Air Defense. The Hygiene question seemed to always be an issue for the other female team members. During PCIs and layouts prior to going on Field Training Exercises, I was the hard NCO that required as per the packing, to have them take their choice of "Fem Hygiene Produces". Invariably women in other sections and Platoons would forget and come a running to us to get help from "my Girls".
As for women bashing in the Military, I DIDN'T then and CAN Not and WILL Not stand for that kind of crap in my presents, even today while as a Vet. I have always enjoy the Female Perspective on any issue that could be discussed calmly. Case in point, I had a Asst Team Leader, she thought so far out of the box she wasn't in the warehouse as the rest of us. I raised quit a large glass of Scotch when I hear that the SF teams and MP patrols were taking women with them. As I understand it, things got better down range as the Iraqi and Afghan women would talk to the US Female Solders before speaking to the males.
We are fighting DASH, and not each other, (less the inter- service rivalry). The one thing that DASH is fearing the most having their lives taken by a Jewish Female, as they won't get to the Jihadi Paradise. So I am all in favor of having females in combat line units, to give them an psychological combat edge, as long as the standards won't be lowered.
So I apologize for pushing any Hot Button issues that I may have, I wasn't attempting to start a RP Storm.

Mandated contraception?! WTH, over. I'd support this if all the men were required to get a vasectomy. That way, it'd all be "equal." Or, how 'bout we teach our service members to behave professionally --to include keeping their ****s in their pants?

No. Without going into the medical, ethical and everything else that would be wrong with this, the bottom line is, either you trust your soldiers, male or female, to have your back and make the right decisions, or you don't.

They aren't dogs. The women being placed in those positions are quite capable of managing their own bodies.
