if the way they handed out contracts to potential recruits was changed i would agree with you and if the standards were the same but the way it is now hell no!!! Why because most women right out of the gate cant physically move 250 to 350 lbs of dead wait and neither can some men (and that's about the weight of the avg marine or solider going into combat these days). Secondly women don't physically develop as fast men as far as strength and endurance goes (that's the average male or female there are always exceptions). It would take more time and money for them to get on the same level.

If women are so strong then why is it in the armed forces women have different physical standards but we get paid the same to do same job how is that fair? Also do you think women should be in combat do you think they could do it?
