Senior defense official: Defense Secretary Carter to open all combat jobs to women in historic chang

16. I said flying was different. Women actually handle G's better than most men.

And its more of a skill than strength issue. But the rest of your stuff is just fluff. You dont think SEALs go through hypothermia training? Its great that women can handle some things better than men. I've got no problem with that.
But training is based on real world battlefield scenarios. And that training includes a lot of tasks that require strength and stamina.
Thats why the military is different. The enemies dont care if a male or female is on the other side. They wont make exceptions and neither should our training. Women should definitely get the same training, because they must be ready to perform where ever they are. War today knows no "front lines"
Some women will be able to make it, but most wont. Unless commanders are TOLD to let them make it. And then we've really opened a can of worms. The Marines already tested it:

But I'm sure the fix was in from the start!

Israel has learned from experience; no longer deploying women to frontline combat positions or tank battalions. They USED to, but they dont anymore.
