Women are not fit for front line combat!

Here's the thing though, standards set minimum requirements. If all the male candidates have higher scores than the females then the females should never have an opportunity. Instead, we'll have lawsuits. Female candidates will claim gender bias when passed up over and over again when their male counterparts best them and point to passing the standards as their argument. 

"Your honor, all of these women passed the fitness tests and none of them were granted the opportunity to serve in this unit. Clearly there is deep pathological sexism in the military."

..

If a female can pass the current standard what is the issue?

Not sure what exactly you're confused about here? Same reason merely being qualified doesn't land you a job offer. You have to be the appropriate candidate for the position and that isn't merely based upon competence. Competence only gets you to the table to interview, same principle here. Superior candidates should win out over inferior candidates and unfortunately in tests of strength and spatial intelligence the women just cannot compete.
