If they can meet the same physical standards, then sure. There shouldn't be seperate physical standards.

Women have been in "combat roles" for awhile in Iraq and Afghanistan, even if not technically allowed. They're allowed to be in deployed units that aren't front-line fighting units, meaning logistics and such. Those units still get attacked, and those women are allowed to fight back obviously.

The laws they want to change are so that women can join fighting units, who are actively seeking a fight or in a high risk front-line position. Not that big of a jump really, especially considering the type of warfare fought these days (guerrillas fighting uniforms).
