"...Agreed, but it's those soldiers in combat who pay the price, which I find completely unacceptable..."

Exactly spot on. That is the crux of my opposition.

I feel that doing this now with the wind of political correctness behind it is going to sow extremely bitter fruit for our troops who have to fight a real battle in the future in units crippled in order to meet a politically correct expediency.
