@pepperroni6252 Not those specific tasks. Some can meet the standards required, but it is far fewer. That's just biology and a fact of life unfortunately. Not a single woman in the UK or US has made it even close to the respective elite fighting forces because women just don't have the physical strength. There are some in more normal units, but in the UK least, as far as I know they are still in training and none have passed yet. There are of course, plenty of roles most women can do in the military, including frontline fighting in the infantry.

@pepperroni6252 In terms of raw strength, no, that simply is not true. They'd have to be on steroids and hormones, essentially turning them into men (like some 'female'* athletes in the USSR used to be). *I'd question in they really were fully female that point, with the amount of hormones and hormone blockers they'd been on. Oh, and it greatly damaged their health.
