While this may be a true statement(and a truism), there are no American women physically and emotionally fit for combat.
If they do exist (and I apologize for making such a broad statement if they do), their numbers are statistically zero.

Correct. In the vernacular it is the difference between being a "wearer" versus a "bearer."

I think most the civilian population doesn't realize this.

And even "Tab Ranger" versus "Batt Ranger".
(ETA: I went to ROTC with a "Batt Ranger" and once served under a former RI - so, I've heard it to death.)

Very few and you, like every other idiot who comments about military policy from an armchair, have absolutely no clue about the difference between being physically fit in garrison or civilian environment and in an active combat zone. Even the best of those females would deteriorate faster then men no matter how much Crossfit they did...

My father was a Ranger and he is probably rolling over in his grave right now.
