though some women can pull there weight but when u think on this standered military carry one m16 ( about 8 pounds with ammo in) medkit, extra ammo, there own food, water, gps, clothes, pancho, mess gear, etc. when you look at even the sog units there gear is about the wight of a grown man( about 180 plus). so that your mass and mass of your gear and then the time limit of haveing to get to the target in so much time. you add in the fact that a solider must be able to carry the mass of a team mate.

in all honesty yes i am not all for naked photos of my self yet its not like they are collecting these photos and getting there rocks off. also i am not for getting near molested . but in the interest of collective security i am fine with it. look at the bomber in san diego on christmas of 09 he flew in and attempted to blow the plan( he failed only because he could not mix chemicals all to well and burned the hell out of himself and started a fire on the plan). he would not of gotten that far due to the scanners.

though yes in part many of religions tell you to commit many distasteful deeds it is the stride for peace. Christianity may be the largest followed belief in America. but u if you look at the foundation of both Islam and Christianity they have the same laws. (i.e they both agree that Christ was a messenger form god as was Abraham,moses, and Noah). In the bible it says it was wrong to drink to the point of blacking out well Islam doesn't have the problem because they decided never to drink.( one social vice taken out of the picture.) next both follow a one god concept both religions shear the same commandments. there fore if they have the same core and Christianity either western or eastern how can one say they are wrong in the religious system when there same core values are near mirror image of that of the west.
