Saying that he had spoken to colleagues at other services about the matter, Sacolick added, "I can assure you, we are not predisposed to any course of action." The major challenge, Sacolick says, is not how the female service members might perform on physical tests — he said he had been impressed by the physical abilities of female recruits. Instead, the largest hurdle could be handling the social and cultural changes, he said.

Starting from the assumption that that the major issue is social and cultural change strikes me as a major predisposition toward a particular course of action. I would not have made it in special forces, in part because I was not strong enough, even though 30 years ago I was stronger than 90% of the people I knew in the military. Today, decades later, I'm stronger than far more than 90% of military women who might be tracked for special forces. Do they really think that muscle mass and upper body strength are irrelevant?

If this regime is getting that communist they have to learn from communist on the subject too.
Soviets evaluated women in every possible combat role during WWII and it proved to be a useless waste of human lives (even by communist standard!) to put them in infantry.
In fact they fond women as able warriors in air force only.
And up to this day women are banned from any Russian warship.
