Resumen de The right to fight: women at war
A storm of opinions was unleashed last week in response to the US military lifting its ban on women in combat roles. Many saw the move as a positive one. Others were concerned that differences in physical strength would put teams at risk, or that women may be too compassionate for close-quarter combat. Some research comes from women in the US military who have found themselves in frontline action. One of the main arguments against opening up combat roles to women has been physiological: that they can't hack it, physically. Even among soldiers, women on average have about 30% less muscle strength and 15 to 30 percent less aerobic capacity than men.
