In this article Heather Macdonald uses statistics to support her reasoning as to why she thinks women shouldn't be in combat. She talks about how the standards are being watered down because women are seen as weaker and this is an issue. She also goes in to discuss about how women have a different genetic makeup then men and how the standards are different from men and female weight.

This video does a good job illustrating the differences in advantages for the males in combat than women in combat. It explains that women are at a significant disadvantage physically because of height, strides etc. There was a study done by marines that proved this. The study included stimulated to war for months and the males performed at a much higher rate than groups of both men and women.
