Its good to see that you do agree there are basic biological differences. So men and women are not equal. So as long as a woman can perform the required activities then I have no problem with them having equal opportunity. But you freely admitted that they have to lower standards so women can get in and that is wrong.

If your mother were unconscious in a burning house you surely would agree that it would be wrong for her to die simply because the woman firefighter wasn't strong enough to pull her out, right? Or would you gladly sacrifice her life just so you can have equality of outcome?!?!? I know I wouldn't for your mother or mine. Oh and by the way, the same goes for a man that can't meet the physical requirements. It would be equally wrong to have a male firefighter that also could not perform those duties.

You see Hound, unlike you I could care less about gender, race, sexual orientation, religious affiliation, etc. I believe in equal opportunity, but not equal outcome. Reducing standards so someone can get into the military is not about equal opportunity.
