They don’t perform the same physical fitness tests. If a woman wants to be in an infantry unit, she needs to be able to perform and pass the exact same physical requirements that a male would have to.

I’m also waiting to see a woman dead lift a 200lb man with an additional 40-60 lbs of gear and fireman carry them 100 yards with no assistance.

40-60lbs is a training requirement. In urban combat I carried 130 lbs of gear and equipment, equivalent to 70% of my body weight......also equivalent to 100% the body weight of an average female.

And, that was before having to pick up and carry extra munitions after we took casualties.

Awwwww, they want to be GI Jane - how precious.
