Integrating women into combat reduces effectiveness, harms unit cohesion

[Geee]

Washington Times:

As the American military prepares to open all combat positions to women by 2016, a British report found that integrating women into combat would reduce effectiveness in battle and could harm unit cohesion.

 

The British report, released in December, found that physiological differences put women at a disadvantage in both strength-based and aerobic fitness tests. Even women who are able to overcome the physiological disadvantage will likely get injured more easily or get tired quicker, making them easier targets and poorer marksmen in combat.

 

“These are about biology rather than character,” the report states.

You mean women are different than men!!

 

How about if we really really really want there to be no difference? Would that work?
