As a male I know there are ladies who far exceed my humble abilities, both mentally and in physical prowess. Prior to going to Vietnam, serving as a Navy pilot, I had to do some "grunting" with the Army, and I can tell you in no uncertain terms that I would have been a liability to any grunt squad, I just wasn't equipped with the necessary physical attributes to be lugging a ton of weight on my back, weapon etc. I was the runt in the family, though my brother was a strapping lad and served in the conflict as an Army infantryman. Irrespective of sex, mental capability or physicality each has a niche. Nice to see the ladies filling all, plumber, electrician, carpentry, pilot, or whatever.
