Sorry Kellis91789, but a lot of the jobs you referred to entail a lot of upper body strength. Truck, tank, and track drivers all pull maintenance on their vehicles as well as resupplying the ammo and fuel in said vehicle. Don’t really see some 105lb girl working a breaker bar to replace a track on a M1A2 or Bradley, or replacing a blown tire on a LMTV or 5 ton truck. Same with “sighting a mortar platoon” Base plates, mortar tubes, and bipods actually got some weight to them as well as humping the rounds...I guess the men can do all that, and the woman can just direct. Sorry, it doesn’t work that way. This PC nonsense is gonna bite us in the a$$ big time.

My mother had 7 sisters...

some of them were truck drivers for the military during WWII...

None of them were Amazons and they were all pretty feminine ladies..

6 of their 7 brothers were called up and went off to fight...

it was a family thing...

I had a heavy vehicle license while I was in the USAF during Nam...

Why cant a woman drive a truck in the military ???

Many drive huge trucks in civilian jobs...
