The advisory panel of current and retired military officers said that keeping women from serving in combat units was an obstacle to promotions and career advancement.

This pretty much says it all. It's not about defeating the enemy at all.

For women officers, it may be a big deal. Judging by the number of enlisted women who use lack of childcare to avoid deploying, or who choose to get pregnant to cut short deployment, I detect a lack of enthusiasm for being deployed in combat.
