Regarding physical requirements, why should there have been separate requirements for men and women? It wasn’t a sports contest, requiring fairness. It is fitness for purpose testing. The Marine Corps used to require diesel mechanics to be able to pick a 100 lb weight off the deck, carry it 20 feet, and place it up on a bench. Because that might be required in the field when there isn’t any materials handling equipment. I watched female mechanics recruit men to bust a tire on a 5 ton truck. That means they were pulled away from whatever they were doing.
Next subject that I know will be unpopular. Whenever sexual tension is introduced into a unit, it decreases the harmony of that unit. Doesn’t matter whether it is heterosexual or homosexual. I watched as a woman was added to a team and the men started bilging each other to look good to the woman. While it was completely the men’s fault, that doesn’t matter. Harmony was decreased. Relatively unimportant in civilian offices or in military garrison, deadly in combat.
Anyone who sincerely wants to understand the brutal environment of war should read Bing West’s “1,000,000 Steps.”
