Women are not fit for front line combat!

Agreed. I understand that Kurdish women are hell of a fighters, but in a modern army, where selectiveness is key, you can only accept what is proven as being the best.

That means those "best" have to go through selective training right? Right?

You have 4 months to go through basic training. Two is boot camp and two are your military occupational training.

Do you believe that in 4 months, women can't be trained to do 50+ push ups, 60+ sit ups and run 2 miles under 15mn?

That's your combat readiness physical requisition.

Fine with me. If they are able to do all that then I have nothing against it. But that is the point. They should not drop in any shape, way or form the requirements just to be politically correct. War is never politically correct. There might be some psychological factors as well, but as someone already pointed out earlier both sexes have their pros and cons.
