The one argument that I had against woman in combat roles is that they can be easier to coerce. It can either be done with implied threats of sexual abuse, or the implied threat of never leaving the country. This isn't a common things with all captured woman, but it certainly makes her questioners job a lot easier.

The Iranian's have never really valued woman's rights, and prisoners rights, so when you combine the two, they have a pretty big tool kit to use to get a confession.
