Should Woman Be Allowed To Be In Front Line Combat?

During the last two years of World War One (1917-1918) woman were allowed to serve in the military. 33,000 woman served as nurses and support staff and more than 400 died in the line of duty. They were not allowed in combat roles though. In 2013 the Sec. Defense under President Barack Obama changed the rules to allow woman in combat roles.

Some people think woman should be treated equally and be allowed in all areas of the military including direct combat. Other people think that woman can serve in the military but not on the front lines. Some of the countries that allow woman in combat are Australia, Zealand and the Philippines.

My option on the matter is that no matter what gender a person is they should be allowed to be in the military. I asked 9 other people in a non bias poll. Here are the results.
