Some time ago I saw a documentary that followed a platoon of men and a platoon of women undergoing Marine Recruit Training.It was stated that men and women underwent *exactly* the same training in the USMC...no special consideration was given to the women.After a particularly tough day of training a couple of the guys were interviewed.They appeared tired,sore and even a bit dejected.The women,after the same training schedule,were weeping like little girls.

I wish I could remember the name of the show and find it on youtube and/or DVD.

Most likely they weren't expecting the DIs to actually yell at them. I'm sure that things improved as they got to know each other better...(snicker)

PS I pay good money for a DVD of their BUD/S training!

In fact female body can survive much longer in a cold environment and it is easier for them to absorb harsh psychological stress for some reason. It made women dominate Soviet sniper corps and night bomber aircrews during WWII. Female teams scored better average results as anti aircraft gunners for Soviets too.
In any other department they couldn’t cope with male soldiers and primary reason is a lack of physical strength.
There is a reason why sports are sexually segregated. You can’t make women play football or box with men. For that same reason you can’t put them in infantry, let alone specops.
