So... for many years, despite legal equality laws and regulations, the UK Military has supported a case to exclude females (and males who do not make the, mostly physical, grade) from some combat roles. What has changed? Could it be desperate recruitment stats?
I can see that male infantry would have a good case to demand a lower physical standard for themselves if the ladies work to a lower standard!
No, for goodness sake, keep fighting troops as tough as possible!
