I have no problems with women in combat or the military. For that matter, I have no problems with women in any traditional "male dominated" role, as long as they are treated as equals.
That means held to the same physical and mental standards as their male counterparts. No special tests for women recruits. Because wars, fires, science, etc - has no bias. If you can do a job, do that job, if you cant, then stay out.
If my big ass somehow passes out in the middle of a house fire and a "fire person" is coming in to get me, I want to be fully 100% sure that they can drag me out because they were trained to. The fact that a female firefighter was a "champion of her gender" by becoming a firewoman due to lower physical requirements will surely be a comfort to the families of the people she let die do to her lack of strength.
