Women in Direct Ground Combat?

Should women be allowed to fight in combat? some would plead its sexist, some would say that is not a display of equal rights. Although there are some valid points why women should not be allowed to fight in combat. Woman do not have the upper body strength men have to carry 45 pounds of armor, weaponry, and kevlar. And not to mention a wounded soldier if need necessary. Not to mention the sexual tension that would be flying back and forth between the soldiers, marines, airmen, and sailors. Women already do fight in combat, the question is if women should be allowed to fight in direct ground combat. Fighting with tanks, artillery and infantry.
