When it comes, and it will, who here really thinks that a 115lb female can pull a 275lb (with gear) male free from a Stryker or HMMWV that's burning from an IED strike? I realize and acknowledge that there are women currently in combat zones, and even attached to certain first tier units in PSYOP roles, but the liability to benefit to date is woefully skewed.
I don't think I can pull someone that is 275 lb. out of HMMWV and I am almost 200 lbs. There are also some small male soldiers. I believe Audie Murphy was rejected for Infantry service several times based on his physical attribute.
However, we need to make our decisions based on the norm, not exceptions. If only one could do it, it is worth it doesn't work for me.
