I must take exception on the general principle:

Oh please, he's talking about normal women. Not abnormal ones. And the simple fact of the matter is that women are not as strong as men. That's why there is a separate set of physical fitness tests for them. If they had to pass the male test there would be too few women in the Army to matter.

And I've got Army stories too. Like the time in basic when the entire female platoon dropped out of a run.

That's why I like the idea of making different classes of MOS physical difficulty, and rating the PT tests on those, no difference for sex or age, only the ability to do the job.
