If that were true, how would it support the idea that women in the military are obligated to take birth control, which is what you are concerned about?But she’s presenting it as woman are complaining that when women soldiers are deployed, they’re not allowed to suppress their cycles.

Im not sure the argument is that women are prevented from doing their job in the military without menstrual suppression, just that it is more convenient in those environments to not menstruate.
Changing tampons/sanitary pads whilst in full gear, disposing of them, maintaining good hygiene etc are harder to do in war zones or challenging locations. If given no choice, women can still do the job just as well, but it is easier to not have to think about it at all.

Also, as of yet, women haven’t served in infantry combat units that I know of.
“We’ve had women in the infantry and armor occupations now for three years,” said Maj. Melissa Comiskey, chief of command policy, Army G-1. Integrating women into combat units has “changed the culture,” she added. “It’s not as different as it was three years ago when the Army first implemented the integration plan.”
There have been at least a couple of women graduate. There is also one woman in the Green Berets now.The Marines tried sending 19 through Officers Infantry Combat school and all 19 dropped out. This was just a few years ago, and I don’t know if that’s changed.
The Commandant of the Marine Corps is asking for more women in these roles and other roles that there are currently no women in.
Women have been at the tip of the spear for some time now. Perhaps mostly as attachments before 7 or 8 years ago, but they are still needed there none the less, especially in the Middle East
