You need to be able to see the death of your brothers, and take the lives of your brothers, all while being calm and collected. The stress of combat is insane. I don't care if women are in support roles, but they can't handle the front lines without a shit ton of expensive training.
Men can't, either. Alot of male soldiers get post-traumatic-stress-disorder, but they're still allowed in.
A certain level of aggresion, which women can easily achieve, is good, just not blinding rage where you can make alot of mistakes.
I don't know why you think this "blind rage" thing is so widespread among male soldiers. There is a such thing as military discipline that keeps people in line and following orders reguardless.
Besides, I don't know about the strange alien world you come from, but on earth women are well known for being much more emotional then men. Its even considered one of their strongpoints, but emotions are not something ideal to have on a battlefeild.
Because I'm sure male soldiers have never felt bad about killing anyone [/end sarcasm]. Women are equally in the know as men that what has to be done, has to be done. They're probably no more likely to hesitate (which I'm sure alot of male soldiers do) when they need to take a shot.
