I was proud to serve with many very good and strong women (when I wasn't serving in a combat unit). They were just generally lacking in the physical endurance and toughness that most combat situations require. Would I trust them to defend a base?...or otherwise participate in combat that they didn't have to carry a full load 20 miles to it over night? Yes, I would. I just wouldn't put them in combat units...not because I am a misogynist, but because they don't support the mission.
