One of the things folks don't take into account is simple reliability. Let's say you've got a 5-ton truck that needs to be loaded, driven to a destination, and unloaded when it arrives. You've got four guys assigned to that detail, yet only three of 'em show up for work.
The fourth guy is away for his weekly visit with a shrink. This is one of those little discussed bits of baggage that go along with that territory. I think military leadership was taken back by it initially, but now they want even MOAR.
In the meantime there are three guys (or less) doing the work of four.
I saw this topic raising its ugly head in the news again this week. Will be interesting to see if President Trump keeps getting his way. Most people would be astonished at the percentages on non-straight people serving in uniform. I only ever saw one out at the tip of the spear ... and that dude was a frikkin' warrior. All the other ones I saw were REMFs.

They're gonna send you back to Mother in a cardboard box
You better run!
