The average man outperforms the average woman in effectively all tasks related to physical strength and endurance. Surely you see why warfare, something largely dependant on physical strength and endurance, is mainly left to men.

Aside from infantrymen and marines who might need to hump 100+kg of gear across rough terrain and run the risk of engaging in close-quarters and possibly even hand-to-hand combat, modern weapons largely negates the strength advantage of men.

100% of all support roles and probably up to 80% of all combat roles can be employed by women without any degradation of direct combat effectiveness.
