Abstract

The article argues that the combat exclusion policy for women in the U.S. military contributes to higher rates of PTSD among female veterans and perpetuates gender-based discrimination. It asserts that this policy is unconstitutional under the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment and advocates for its repeal to improve mental health outcomes and promote gender equality in the military.
