Most of us who were in the military pulled a stint of latrine duty and know all about bad aim. You want a mess? Try latrine duty the morning after the first liberty after a 30-day cruise.WHEW!!
I have worked with women on an equal basis in a job that required continued physical exertion for 30 years. Some women were very good workers and some were not; just like the men.
But combat is a different thing. You can't be protective of the guy next to you. And it is the nature of the male to protect the female. If you hesitate in a combat situation, you can die right there and possibly your whole squad with you
That said, of course there are exceptions to every rule but a combat unit simply can't take the time to find and utilize those exceptions. Not where lives are at stake.
