I agree that the best way is to work hard, if you cant do it because you don’t have the will power or physical endurance, regardless male or female then I say you don’t belong on the battle field, because if you cant make it through boot camp, so to speak, then what makes you think you will last in an actual combat situation.

It really depends on the standards of each branch also. When I was talking to recruiters, the US Marine Corps seemed to have more of a strict standard in military standards for boot camp than the US Air Force, for males and females. To my understanding, (I could be wrong), if someone got of the service and went back in through a different branch, the only branch that did not have to go through boot camp again was the US Marines, if they had US Marine boot camp previously.

Well men and women are very different even physically. The resistance of a man and the resistance of a woman is not the same. Women we are storng but... men... more often are stronger than us... plus we are talking about the militia... they are battleing not only to not get killed but also they are representing and "defending" their country. Whatever he or she is (soldier, marine or from the airforce) s/he has to be able to resist to be attacked... and the enemy is not going to contemplate if the soldier is being pushed to mre than his/her limit... so they have to be prepared... for anything.
... that's just me... ^_^

true, true, true, true!!! THat post is so true! Well I agree with that well about 99%
Also if they are not prepared and go into battle without the proper training they will not be sent home they will be sent out there and will most likely die! There is in some countries that children are better at useing a gun than some of the marine's and that is just scarry... They should not lower the "bar" but they mybe should raise it upp a little (maybe, that's upp to the militrary's)
