I totally agree, Sarah. I would like to add; Man's natural instinct (yes, we have them) is to protect the "vessel of life" , a Woman. Only women can get pregnant, carry the infant, and give birth to another human being. One woman in combat can neutralize at least 4 men. The men in front, on either side and directly behind are going to first - protect the woman, second - focus on the mission. This is a formula for failure of the mission. Because of this fact (talk to a psycologist if you don't believe me) the mission is likely to fail. In spite of the hubris of the perverts who say otherwise, women do not belong in combat. They don't belong in men's sports, in front-line firefighting, rescue missions, etc... they don't have the upper body strength to accomplish what is needed. It's nature.
It's based on the fallacy that outliers define the norm, which is still a healthy, strong 20-25 year old male. The long controversy over the single standard Army Combat Fitness Test has proven this beyond reasonable doubt.
