Exceptional women will always exceed the physical results of many men. However, Armies are built with large populations. Anecdotal accounts of 90+%'ile women don't mean much. Women, on average, are much weaker than men, and are thus generally unable to haul heavy rucks long distances, unload a truck full of fresh ordinance rapidly, break track on an AFV and repair it, etc.

unload a truck full of fresh ordinance rapidly

I offered to help some 155mm howitzer guys once (I was bored). I could barely unload a truck full of fresh ordnance. That's HEAVY! This gives "back-breaking work" a new definition. Oh, and remind them not to fire when you're standing next to the drive wheel.

Going after women in general is wrong though. If you want to do a certain job, pass the test, that's it. You can't be a gun bunny without serious upper arm strength (in the 90 percentile for men, too), so there should be by-occupation standards. If a woman can make the cut, go for it.
