Women in combat roles face these “disproportionate medical risks”

Are recruiters, particularly in the Army and Marines, lying to (or at least misleading) young women who they try to recruit into military service? That’s a question which is asked and answered in the LA Times this week by two people who should know. Julie Pulley is a former West Point graduate Army captain and Afghanistan veteran. Rear Adm. Hugh P. Scott was a Navy medical officer and is an expert in medical physical standards. They discuss the current push to drive up the number of women going into combat roles and the unique stresses which the demands of those duties put on the bodies of women. The difference between the genders in this scenario is significant and worrisome.

I would think that going to a war zone would increase disproportionate medical risks. But that's just me.

Where the strain is greater is where you might expect to see the disproportion manifested.

When I was a "young 'un" I might have had the physical stamina, but not the mental stamina. As an older lady, I have the mental stamina. but not the physical. Go figure.

Maybe the military needs to keep such things in mind.

If there is no need to do it, why would you accept a female cohort that is statistically far more likely not to meet the physical requirements, and to suffer injury?  It's irrational as hell.
