I'm a Vietnam combat vet, not an 11 Bravo infantryman, but a former Huey door gunner who has inserted many infantrymen into combat situations, and then picked them up again as the mission required.
Please don't tell me that women could have stood along side these brave men and pulled their own weight. It's laughable to even consider it.
These men with their 100+lb. combat loads to include weapons and ammo had a rough time of it on their own.
Women are not physically, emotionally or psychologically prepared for war.
Get over this rare woman crap.
“Women are not physically, emotionally or psychologically prepared for war.”

As a woman I fully agree.

Everyone knows there are women out there who might be able to physically outperform some guy, that is a no-brainer. The feminists will cherry pick a candidate, kind of like Billy Jean King picked to play against some 60 year old guy.
But when you ramp this up to thousands of randomly chosen men (boot camp environment) versus randomly chosen women, this graph above comes into play.
There is no contest in the average male physical strength versus the average female physical strength.

As an Air Mobile 11Bravo I have always wondered why slick pilots would hover a few feet above ground for us to jump down so they wouldn’t get their skids muddy. (just kidding though) Climbing out of a mudhole in full gear after jumping off the skids and getting buried up to the thighs in mud, under fire (thank God for door gunners on hot LZ’s) was never a scenario practiced in training.
You above most know the needs of the downrange scenario. One of the major problems with the combat requirements is the need for upper body strength, which women don't have due to their DNA alone. And there is no training that can build the musculature to handle it. Whereas I don't necessary agree that women can't be prepared for war psychologically as women have in history displayed the ability to aggression, but the required controlled reactive emotions and physically preparation for this type of work may not be possible, especially the physical. red
