I would like to know what military duties women were unable to perform? Your sports analogies are flawed. Professional sports seek out premiere athletes, in comparing men and women in sports women will not reach the premier level in a lot of them... The military is not looking for the premiere athletes. I have been around military folks all my life and there are many many Gomer Pyle's in the military.

I still would like to see the list of duties in the military that women cannot perform!

I would suggest that not only are your views chauvanistic but they are also bias based on your own personal views of what women are/should be!

No one suggests women are the "same thing" as men, but who are you to tell anyone let alone a women that she cannot do something?
