Women have no serious business in fighting forces aside from bureaucratic, administrative and secretarial work.

Your statement is completely buffoonish. There are about a million tasks in the military (other than bureaucratic, administrative and secretarial tasks) that women can perform quite admirably. Not very many military tasks require hand-to-hand combat.

Not very many military tasks require hand-to-hand combat.

That is rarely guaranteed, the Airborne and commandos are especially geared to land among those people that you think are out of bounds for combat.

Strength comes into play in many areas such as changing a truck tire, moving a 20 gallon pot of soup off a stove, loading and unloading 100 pound shells, fetching a 50 cal. for someone, digging and creating fortifications.

All those things that women can't do in your daily life? Well, they can't do them in the military either, that is why we have the real military and their standards and level of testing, and then the second level of the military, with their sex separate standards and level of testing.

You would be surprised to see how often the men are watching the humorous, keystone efforts of females trying to perform simple, everyday tasks in the military, that is why the female is usually given the clipboard.
