There are women who can pass the physical requirements, there are just less women on that end of their bell curve than men.
No ones saying to keep those women out, just that there are physical requirements that CANNOT be lowered in something as life or death as the marines.
If you get hit and need to get pulled out and the guy next to you literally cannot pick you up or drag you away, thats a bad thing.
Women who cant fulfill physical requirements can fill noncombat roles if they really want to serve.
BUT— There is a first principle of warfare about protecting the women of your society. If 90% of the males die during war, the remaining 10% can keep the population going without much of a hiccup. If 90% of the women die, your population is decimated permanently.
Women are the bottleneck for making children, they are more important than us men. Sucks for us men, but we understand and accept it implicitly, and will sacrifice ourselves for the tribe because of it.
