Well I'm 5'7, about 130 lbs (Not a CPA, ha), and I definitely would have a hard time carrying a 180 lb wounded man w/all of that on me. Truthfully, I could not do it, and that makes me somewhat ineffective. Not saying I wouldn't give it my all, but it would be difficult. Lowering standards to allow women (or anyone else) into the "Pipeline" is just plain wrong. If you cannot go through the training as is, then you have no right to be there, simple as that. If you want equality in life, then you have to abide by the rules to play the game. That means not cutting corners; that's a dangerous scenario...
