Why do my parents think because I'm a girl I'm not capable of infantry and devoting my life

Women are more than capable of infantry roles should they meet the correct standard, recently the first female has passed the P company course for the parachute regiment proving that they are more than capable. If a CMT is what you are interested in, then you can attach to the infantry after a few years and do what they do whilst still being a medic by trade, so if you are interested in the infantry side of life that could be a good option for you achieving both.
