Read the content again. This has nothing to do with women in the military, it has to do with women in front line combat roles. Women have been in the US military since the American Revolution and have had the legal right to for about 60 years.
So to go into broken record mode, those women have to pass the same tests as the men. The women in the general military do not. So your whole point is nonsensical.
Now that that has been covered for the 3rd time, I'm going to go off on a tangent. There have been women in combat in the military for a long time, just not in our military. The soviet union deployed female troops in world war two against the Germans and by all accounts from the Germans themselves, the women performed very well and were some of the most feared and fanatical troops that the Russians had. Most women are not cut out to be Army Rangers but then again, neither are most men. Some people act as though the very essence of being male somehow means they can pick up someone from combat with thousands of pounds on them and then carry everyone through a firefight. This is bullshit. Most people, men and women, are in terrible shape. Some men like to act like being male makes them something special. Not really, the army is full of out of shape rapists who are too dumb to get real jobs and contribute to society.
Uh, also broken record, no.
The special forces are different, this should be obvious. In regards to front line combat service-members, the minimum standards are different for men and women... this constitutes the far reaching majority of all combat service-members.
In fact, public and congressional pressure exists on the Marines, currently, in regards to lowering the physical fitness standards for women in combat roles.
