Personal testimony may not be relevant to the analysis, but I knew a woman who was an officer in the Navy. Damn she was hot. And dedicated too. She could certainly kick ass better than I could (one of the many factors that contributed to her hotness). Because of her, I began to have a lot more respect for women making a career out of the military.

The problem isnt people dont think women can perform. The problem is the standards in which they are held. I know many women in the military that can go toe-to-toe with me. The problem is I know many that would be kicked out faster than you can snap your fingers if they were held to the common male soldier standard.

If they held women soldiers to the same physical standards as men most soldiers would not have a problem with them being there. The problem is when there are women who pass when their male counterpart with superior scores fails causes problems.
