I was at Fort Hood once many, many years ago watching 4 male soldiers built like linebackers struggling to get a track tensioned with a six foot wrench.

Now image a 120lb female soldier tying to do that or humping 70 lb tank rounds.

The whole thing is ludicrous.

I was 155 lbs (male) when I was in Afghanistan. I was also pushing 50. I did my job well, but my job was on a FOB. NOT infantry. I did my part but I couldn’t match a fit, 200 pound guy in his 20s. Not off the FOB.

And most of the women there were a lot smaller than me.
