Have one set of physical fitness/strength standards and if women can pass that then they are qualified but don't have separate standards. Also it is time for females to also sign up for Selective Service when they tun 18...equality and all.

And McCain? Getting shot down and being a POW for 5 years makes up for all his other incompetence? Maybe in your lily white world, but not in mine. He continues to show his incompetence (and ass) almost every day. Graduating 5th from the bottom of his Naval academy class set the stage for McCain's entire life.

McCain's accomplishments in life? Being born to an admiral daddy and marrying a filthy rich woman. That's it.

Let us not forget that women deal with pregnancy, a very difficult, painful and dangerous thing to do for most (some die doing it) - carrying around lots more weight 24/7 without being able to put it down and having a fetus feeding off their bodies while doing it. I would think that would show just how sturdy women can be.

More to the point, in a volunteer army anyone qualified to fight should be welcomed. And if women are already exposed to combat-hazard levels of risk, they need to be recognized and compensated equally. No brainer.

Except, we're talking 18-25 year old enlisted personnel. Policy set by fat, middle-aged politicians don't mean diddly on the ground. Of course, sexual misconduct is already rampant, even among the officer corps, so that's not really the issue. The issue is why the hell are we still grinding up our poor and desperate youth, come one come all, and pretending it's good for them, that they want be there.

There's nothing more loathesome than a chicken hawk, but I'm conflicted about these educated white guys hyping their service for political gain: thanks for doing your duty, but resume building ain't heroic.
