Females largely don't belong in uniform. But, if we're going to do that, we should go back to the old WAC/WAVE/WAF era and have them in a segregated service. And they certainly don't belong in combat.
Eh, that's some bullshite.
80% of military members are in rolls that can easily be filled by women.
A military base, for example, is nothing but a small city and requires all the employees a city does. Those jobs can be done by women , sometimes even better than men can do them.
Now, if you're talking about combat roles, or specific special force slots, well that's another matter. But just the blanket statement that women don't belong in the military is incorrect.

Then let men in those roles train to the female APFT standard.

To a certain degree, this is true. I've been complimentary of female troops with whom I've served here and in other places. However, we're largely dealing with our last 20 years experience. Mostly, we do the killing and we could have civilians doing a lot of these jobs, too.
But, a soldier is supposed to be a warfighter when the shite hits the fan. Mixed or female-only units always underperform all male units in combat. Period.
