When I went through Jump School women were not required
to meet the same physical standards as there male counterparts.
Given the recent political push for Women to be able to fill
combat MOS's, it causes me to consider if we are not compromising
standards set for the military vs. equal rights, thus causing
needless loss of life on the battlefield.  I know that some
years ago the IDF abandon the policy of women in combat.
What was this based on, and what other military force has
pursued this doctrine?
