I'm actually coming around to the idea (slowly) of women in active combat units. Though it would be unnerving to be in a gym knowing that any of the women you see exercising there are actually battle-hardened soldiers who kill people for a living. And have done so with their own hands in a face-to-face confrontation. 
Why more so than any of the men?
What do the Israelis do? What do the Brits do? Some combat jobs require upper body strength. The lawsuit won't be going anywhere, but I digress. The courts just don't F with the military.
Well, true, and that has to be taken into consideration, but there exist women with considerable upper body strength.
