well it's now 2013 what if 2 of the squaddies were in a relationship? pretty much nulls out your reasoning there does it not??
The pregnancy thing would be rare really if she engaged in unprotected sex or any form of sex a simple medical prior to moving to front line will sort that one out.So all women going front line banned from sex for a couple of weeks first then have to have a medical then if they are preggers its just bad luck imo. So its still the period which as I said could be controlled so in reality no reason for them not to fight if they want to

One reason we were given when i was in the army was the natural reaction of a man is to aid an injured women, this could raise issues in a combat situation where taking out the enemy comes first before medical help.

of all the reasons given so far this one is the only one makes real sense
