I think most of the people fluttering on about our delicate wimmin would get their asses whipped by their frontier GGG Great Grandmothers. Those wimmin worked every bit as hard as the men and fought every bit as well against the Indian Raids all while raising a family. The whole nonsense about delicate wimmin is a fantasy of the high victorian period.
Any woman who is strong enough should serve wherever she wants. The services have done some terrible things downgrading the physical requirements for some positions to put wimmin in them, but as long as the old standards are retained, why not?
We have wimmin aerobatic pilots today who are just as agressive as any male pilot, pull higher Gs than any military pilot and are in fact better pilots than most fighter jocks. Why shouldn't they get a shot?
In the 60s when the NY Fire Dept was first hiring wimmin, Mayor Ed Koch said "I don't care what sex a fireman is as long as they are strong enough to carry a 200 pound Mayor down a ladder" Precisely the right sentiment.
