This is all ridiculous, why can't they just figure out the necessary minimum qualifications and then apply those to everyone? On average men are stronger than women, sure, but that has no bearing when it comes to evaluating individuals. The article lists various tasks that the men were better at, like throwing their packs over the 8 foot wall or carrying a 200 lbs dummy in a fireman's carry, but a few of the women in the study were able to do those things even if a majority of them weren't. Why should they be punished because "on average" women are weaker?

On average, black dudes are stronger than white dudes. Does that mean we should exclude all white people from certain military units?

No they aren't. Power lifters, strongman competitors and every throwing event in the Olympics say hello.

YES, an individually tailored military. That would be awesome. You're a fricking idiot.
