I understand what you're saying - I really do. But what you apparently don't realize is that women bring advantages to the military that we did not previously have. Yes, they are the weaker sex...but - if today's college populations are any indication - they're generally more intelligent than men. Yes, I DID go there - do you really think it's merely a coincidence that girls generally get better grades than boys in K-12? And we men certainly have no advantage over them when it comes to courage, bravery, determination, and commitment. NO, I'm not saying that women are always better than men. But I am saying that physical capability, while important, is not the be-all and end-all of determining who is best to have at one's side in combat.
This is not a new realization. Ancient Greece was famously misogynistic, but to Socrates, it was obvious: "Once made equal to man, woman becomes his superior." Time was when few, if any women were allowed an education...but now that they have something close to (but not quite) equal opportunity, they make up a majority of our college students. Seems to me that Socrates may have been more accurate than he thought.
