Not all Soldiers are combat soldiers, and not all deployments are combat deployments.
ETA: To expound, not even all deployments to combat zones are combat deployments. This thread and OP weren't about Females in Combat Arms Military Occupational Specialties (MOS) which is what the Marine Corps was studying, it was about women being deployed.
Several folks have told you that the OP's "problem" is neither that new, nor much of a problem. Two of us have told you from personal experience commanding mixed units that it's not that much of a problem, but you seem to be pretty entrenched in your views.
Let me be plain because I'm going to edge right up to the Polite part here. Females have deployed with soldiers forever. They have done so in uniform as US Soldiers themselves for decades. There are many roles in Combat Support and Combat Service Support that require deployments for which women do as well as (or in some cases better than) their male counterparts.
BTR, you should probably stop talking about this subject, until you at least get the differences between deployments, combat, and MOS's correct, because you're wrong. Removing females from all deployments would be a net hindrance to the US military, and hurt our combat effectiveness, even if it were possible politically, which it's not.
