Lol, the US has the largest military in the world, no shit they're going to be stronger than the Kurds, it has nothing to do with the gender of their soldiers.

Edited by The Fallen Zyzz: 12/9/2015 6:23:48 PMWhich one has better training and is more capable? Match the average US soldier against a Kurd. Who is objectively the best soldier? It's not just about size and resources. And the sex of their soldiers absolutely does matter. The average woman has 0.4-0.6 times the upper body strength of the average man and 0.7 times the lower body strength IIRC. Using soldiers that are biologically inferior from an objective standpoint is a great way to weaken the unit and get people killed. Hell, even female US soldiers who served in a combat role have said that women have it much, much tougher than men in combat roles. They simply weren't as effective as the guys were and had to work extra hard to compensate. Using female soldiers, especially ones that can't meet the fitness standards is a terrible idea.
