They can do medical tests before being deployed and then the sensible thing would be not to have unprotected sex whilst on tour. The rest of it they'll just have to get over. Don't form a relationship with someone you're deployed with and if they do break that rule then deal with it that way. I mean the same arguments could be made if the soldiers are gay.

If women want to be on the front line then they should be, the presumption that men can't control themselves isn't a good enough reasons to stop it.
