Basic PT is a joke. Can a women carry a 200 lb wounded man for a long distance and at the same time fire a weapon accurately, and keep on humping along through out the day having the ability to do it over and over again? A man may be called upon to do that. I can can do it but can a girl do it? I doubt it. Can a women fight hand-to-hand if need be and beat a man in a fight I can do that too - again can a women do that?You may be able to do all this, but I doubt if most of the men in my basic unit would have been able to match your feats. You can beat a man in hand-to-hand until you meet a man that can beat you in hand-to-hand.

Bottom line women don't belong in combat for a zillion reasons.
You can beat a man in hand-to-hand until you meet a man that can beat you in hand-to-hand.
There is no man who would always win in all fights. A women fighting hand-to-hand against men are going to just about always die.

You may be able to do all this, but I doubt if most of the men in my basic unit would have been able to match your feats. They can with practice and the build up of their strength. I would come pretty fast in dedicated training. You can't train a women to do this without metamorphosing their DNA.
Furthermore, This is standard training for Air Force PJs to have the ability to carry a man while keeping a free arm to engage the enemy with their rifle while he evacuates the injured flyer/comrade.
