One single integrated battalion that is flung out on the Sinai and has never seen combat doesn't count.
I'd be very surprised if any of these women even got out of the PT test, much less the first week.

Interestingly enough, the 2 organizations with (by far) the highest volume experience with women in combat, the IDF and the Russian Army (as the de facto successor to the Red Army of the Soviet Union) don't do it anymore (at least, not to any significant degree).
Why do you suppose that is?
It is not because women are inferior, by the way.
It is just the tradeoffs a society makes to put women - not in uniform (some of my best subordinates and superiors have been female - I haven't had so much luck with female peers, but I'm sure that's an anomaly) mind you, but in combat are just not worth the exchange.
Most American males are not really cut out for combat - of those that aren't, probably only a small percentage can be "whipped" into shape. That does not bode well for the future.
The percentage of American women who are cut out for combat on the modern battlefield is statistically insignificant. It is unfortunate. It's sexist. But it doesn't make it not true.
