>For infantry, right?

No, even on a ship in the Navy women are overwhelmingly unable to perform damage control duties (damage control is what they call the tasks needed to prevent a damaged ship from sinking).

99% of women are unable to carry a P250 pump down, even after training. Here's what a P250 pump looks like: http://isurplus.com.au/images/stories/virtuemart/product/Hale%20P250%201.jpg

So if our Navy ever fights a real war again (or hell, even if it just gets rammed by a container ship like one did a few months ago) the women on board are going to be completely useless for several of the tasks required to keeping the ship from sinking.
