I have no problem with women serving in combat units BUT if they cannot pass the same physical tests as men to do so then they shouldn’t be there. Some women (very few) will be able to do so, most won’t.

I hear that often, but the trouble is that women and men together causes drama.
My son a marine, and I and my father have all served and all of us have seen first hand how there is drama, and flirting and a decline in unit cohesiveness. It is just not about if a woman can do the same physical , it is about a unit working together.

Same for mental/emotional tests. People forget the intensive psychological requirements of elite warriors.
