    How much you can carry is only important in a relatively small number of combat positions. Almost everything is carried by vehicles nowadays, even the tents for sleeping in the field. My drill sargeants in boot camp were quite blunt in saying that they preferred female recruits to male. They’re better disciplined (far fewer macho types with attitude problems), have better hygiene and are more orderly. Many of the women in the service now ARE in combat positions (such as nurses at evac hospitals); we just pretend they aren’t. Really, all the regulations do is act as a glass ceiling.
