Marines have women fighter pilots.

Concur. So does USAF.

But they are not used for door-kickers like SWAT missions require.

Navy, too. My son, who spent the better part of a 20 year Navy career aboard aircraft carriers, said the women pilots were nearly all sub-par. Damaging equipment, etc.

I like to see women in responsible positions, but there are some things they're just not "tough" enough for.
