The standards are tough for a reason. Even if a woman could pass the "standard" how long could she actually maintain it?? 10, 15, 20.......25 mile hikes!! Long range patrols with 100+ extra pounds of food, ammo, and water?? The female frame and and overall musculature cant handle that kind of constant stress and pressure. I've seen the FETs and understand the need for something like that however, they do not belong at the squad or platoon level in ground combat units.
