My niece is in an ROTC pipeline right now. She is top of her class in both academics and PT. Can out PT all other males in her class. She is very anxious for Airborne school and is geeked up over being allowed in combat.
But she is an extremely rare individual and may prefer women to men, which may have some reason behind her "drive".
Having said that I am still not a fan of the idea. Too much liability. Too much extra to worry about.
To of the class pt doesn't men schit when the gloves come off and its tine you're hand to hands you die or i die combat which is exactly what this article discusses.
