If they are going to be in combat situations they need to be judged by the same standards.

It'll never happen. And even if it did, it ignores the disruptive dynamic that sex introduces in units that work in very close proximity for long periods of time. Granted, that's only a small part of the military, but they've been included in all the social experimentation. That's why allowing gays was a bad idea; not because they can't do the job, but because it introduces an aspect that never enhances combat effectiveness and can only damage it.
