I do concur that in most pure infantry situations that most females wouldn't be able to hack the usual load. 80 plus pounds of gear before you even add your weapon, ammo and ballistic vest with plates and combat helmet.
Almost sounds like there is a deliberate effort to screw things up in the military, but who could possibly want that? (that sarcasm is not directed at you in any way, NT). After 10 years(!) of war, I would imagine personnel and resources are stretched very thin and units have to do whatever is necessary to carry out their assignments - but this should never have gone on as long as it has.
My biggest concern is that this war is being used as a template for the future. In the next war, we may not have total air superiority; we may not have almost total freedom of movement and resupply may be a tenuous thing. If we start making permanent changes to the very structure of the military (e.g. women in combat arms) based on present circumstances, I think that will be a very bad thing.
