What is the real reason women cannot serve in combat positions?

1. Women are subject to harassment and rape by male soldiers even now, and would be more vulnerable in combat situations, where life is unreal and all bets are off.
2. Women's toileting is more complicated, requiring always taking pants down instead of just most the time standing beside a tree.
3. Women are more reasonable and practical people who lack both the desire to kill and the insane feeling of invincibility of (many) male soldiers.
4. Women can be used much more effectively in other roles in the military where brains and people skills are required.
5. Women in general have less upper body strength to carry the amount of equipment modern soldiers are expected to carry.
