OK, yes, the Danish Afghani forces have women at the front, the first died in 2006. The interviews and blogs I have seen from their male collegues is yes to women at the front, no to qutas. Not all men can, not all women can.

In 2009 there was at least one female infantery woman group leader. She say ability is important, not gender. Ability means life or death for the solider and his or her mates.
