This is my second deployment with females (last time in the rear, this time with females attached to our Cav squadron form Charlie Med). In both cases around 90% of our problems have had to do with the females. They fight in their billets, when each one has several guys who are interested in them their heads swell and it becomes difficult to deal with them, they need all sorts of special accomodation (including something so simple as how to secure a spot for them to pee while on patrol) and so on. That is to say nothing of jealousy, attraction, sexual politics and lots of other problems which do not come immediately to mind. Some (a minority) of the females we have had are top notch-I've got one in the evac section right now who is a great medic. But even so, she has difficulty lifting litters which is a serious problem when you have to load an ambulance. The only way to address the inequality in physical standards you mentioned-which is completely true BTW-is to lower the standards for males, and that's not really a solution. There were prefectly good reasons that women were excluded from military service for hundreds of years and still are in many nations.
