Wired.com is a techo website that is usually on top of the latest and greatest stuff. I would imagine their information is on point. Still that doesn't do anything for the strength issue we've been discussing and they agree - "So, are male and female soldiers essentially the same? Hardly, said LTC Rachel Evans, a bone health researcher with the U.S. Army. Men still have an advantage in brute strength, for example."

"Women definitely have a place in the military," she said. "But we should look at men and women differently."

Even so, I noted the military is now working on a strength suit that will allow a soldier to be much stronger than without. That may have it's genesis in women being in the military, but from what I saw, it makes men much stronger too.
