Well, w/o diving into deep research, IIRC, Isralean and Russian women did their fair share of sniping from WWII to more modern times (from readings, but also from that half remembered WWII film Enemy At The Gates). They killed enemy combatants which definately put them in a combat function. Dunno if it's still like that these days. If they are directly involved in combat, I'm guessing it would be in a limited capacity
Isralean women know how to handle uzis and similar such firearms, but again, whether if they use them often or not is another thing entirely.
ORANGE for all

SF is the upper 2-3% of troops: physically, mentally, and in each required discipline - hand-to-hand, strength, shooting, endurance, running, swimming, et al. There are some women approaching that 2-3% the exception proves the rule. Why are male and female sports are gender segregated to protect the men ????

It's no secret that waterboarding has been a part of SERE training for years.
The most telling part of the shower scene is near the end, when she grabs her towel. You have to look closely to tell, but instead of wrapping it around her torso like a woman, she wraps it around her waist, like a man. She just wants to be "one of the boys." -

From a woman's point of view, this is exactly what I was just going to say, but the above poster beat me to it. -
