that logic makes no sense. And besides I don't think that soldiers are wrestling their enemies so strength isn't a very valid factor.
You clearly have no idea how warfare is conducted. Being an infantryman requires physical stamina, surviving on scarce resources for days, constantly carrying a weapon, running, lifting various equipment and hauling it everywhere, etc. Women can't do many of these things for long or without problems. Not to mention they get periods. That's a problem. A very big problem.The difference between men and women is not too big in these requirements though. You seem to mistaken female soldiers for housewives in armor. No, the female body can be just as trained and used as the male, with generally a rather small difference. Both could patrol days through the desert and still run in a firefight.
But please don't act as if every soldier needs to have the physical abilities of a special force unit. Depending in what country you are, there are also obese people accepted and trained. And in the field, one obese or a women is just as useful for fire support as a bodybuilder.
