I think of it this way, what would the response be to insisting that 40% of combat troops were of below average height, strength, and endurance?
It’s plain idiocy.
I believe women can be completely success ful Marines in very many—most, even—military specialties.Logistics, intelligence, admin, etc. are fine. Even pilots (fighter pilots? I don’t know.) but Combat specialties like infantry or even artillery? He!! no. More liability than asset, IMO.
