I cannot tell if this is sarcasm, so I’ll bite:

The ability to fire a weapon is about 5% of combat arms activity. Being able to hump your own sack, carry a buddy, haul a mortar base plate, etc.

For quite a few of the Navy Seal ( and most Special Forces in general) mission profiles, if you have to shoot your gun something has went very wrong.

On the article site, one woman commented that she didn't understand why being able to do pull ups should be part of the standard. Really? In combat, you may need to be able to climb over a wall, climb into a high window, climb up a rope, etc -- all activities that require a degree of upper body strength which is lacking in most women.
