I used to be a "jeger" in Norway. we had 13 girls who signed up voluntarily. after 3 days, there were only 2 left. After basic training there was 1 left.
She was fairly strong, ofc, not on the same level as guys the average guy. But i do think they contributed to an overall increased satisfaction level of our squad.
However, its certainly not a natural profession for girls, but there are som freakish tomboys who enjoys this work.
And if they can reach the required physical requirements, i say, let them.
No you don't let them just because they meet the physical requirements as a 0,01-0,02% of the female population.
And the reasons for this are also already known.
The Israelis had the most experience with women in combat troops.
There were not one, but multiple incidences where joint units had a certain mission. Those mixed-sex units had far higher mortality rate and fail ratio than the unisex ones. They found that when it gets tough, then men risk their lives to protect that one woman among them. Once they even abandoned the target and preferred to defend that one woman from harm. The Israeli officers got plenty of shit for such assessment. Since then they have adapted the strategy and are only having all-female squads that they use for off-frontline duties.
Just as you find with the gander-ratio that things don't add up due ot the fact that there are 100 times more geniuses and super-high-IQ men born and that male motivation to succeed in large groups on average is biologically ingrained to always surpass the average women - then you find out that the demand to hoist 50% of women onto CEO seats is just pure madness.
The same internal predisposition is happening in combat:
+ men have an ingrained instinct to protect women and children - women have zero instincts to protect men, quite the contrary
+ PTSD is for men far less common than it would happen to women - women do get triggered far easier and the new SJWs and thin-skinned feminists are clearly proof of that, but there are also examples of women in the Israeli forces who sue the government quite often for PTSD cases even if most of those are related to just the tough basic training
So even if you have the rare woman who meets the physical criteria (which I also doubt, because they get injured like 50 times more than men for the same things), then you have the basic biological mental makeup of men and women to deal with.
The report of the Israelis ended by saying that the only way to be equal is to somehow condition the male protective instinct out of them. But such men would be dangerous in real life. Because in real life women get away with doing things to men that no man would be left without a punch.
So that is why we won't let them.
