Reply #1: no flames from me. There are jobs where physical strength and stamina

matter a great deal, and any soldier ought to be able to prove their ability in that regard or NOT be placed in that billet. To have someone assigned a job who isn't strong enough to carry off such a job places others around them at risk.

There are some women who are strong enough, and there are some men who are not. Billet placement should be based on capability not gender.
