I'm convinced that it's an effort to increase pacifism. If society sees women getting killed, getting maimed, being taken prisoner and raped, then society starts thinking "War is bad. Let's not do it any more."

The people who want Western Civilization to give up and stop defending itself are the people who think putting women into combat is a step in the right direction.

"War is bad. Let's not do it any more."

Good! War is bad. And we should try to not do it anymore. Train and prepare for it, but avoid it as much as possible.

Kudos - you've nailed it!
