The solution lies in more training, more discipline, and more
prosecution. Women are entitled, literally, to serve in the armed forces
if they wish. I doubt it impacts on readiness, as our military forces
haven't taken on and defeated a serious, disciplined, well-equipped
opposing force since WW II and you can't blame our failures on women.
Blame the generals...they're in charge.

You really can't blame our results on the military. You need to blame
the politicians who get us in civil wars where there will never be a
winner.
I will say that if you are really talking about combat troops, there
are physical constraints on some jobs where you need higher standards
that most men and virtually all women will fall short of.
You might be able to accommodate "special needs" soldiers in rear
echelon areas but if someone needs regular hormone shots to maintain
their chosen gender, they have no business being out in the field.
At a certain point, they may be more trouble than they are worth,
which is why we maintain minimum physical standards in the first
place.
