Women, according to the Aspin Rules, are exempt from assignment to Direct Ground Combat units. This means that females cannot be assigned below brigade level to Combat Arms units (Infantry, Armor, Artillery).
Pilots, however, can be female since they are not expected to participate in ground combat.
This rule still exists, however, due to the nature of modern warfare, women in combat support and combat service support units are frequently encountered with situations in which mission accomplishment requires them to engage in ground combat.

Can women go to war in the army?
The question is in the category "World War I". The US did not allow women into the "army" proper at the time; they instead joined the Women's Army Corps and were assigned to non-combat positions (mostly clerical and other "service" roles).On January 24, 2013, the US Secretary of Defense officially removed the ban on women serving in combat positions, but the details and ramifications of this are still working themselves out. There's currently no legal bar to women joining the US Army, nor is there one for women in the US Army from "going to war" (by which I assume you mean taking part as official combatants), but it may take some time for the new rules to be fully implemented.

Why should women be allowed in the military?
They are; women make up a large portion of many countries' armed forces. The real question is "should women be allowed in combat?" Since this is an opinion question I will say no to combat. Women want to be in it. However they don't realize how horrible it really is. Women have been in the military since the early part of last century and they have done an outstanding job and we even have female Generals. ____ Women are fully aware of how horrible combat is. They aren't naive little girls, nor are they blind. Women are serving in combat roles with distinction. IF they are capable, IF they are well trained then they should be allowed to.
