Free your mind, guys. The women that can hack it and make it in the military, will make it. Sexual dimorphism is still with us, but due to changes in our culture (more women in sports, etc.) that dimorphism is getting smaller, I think. If you look at elite athletes that are women, and there are plenty of them, they would run circles around 99% of men in most endeavors - other than other elite male athletes.
Special Forces are an elite group and there will be elite women able to cut the mustard.
When I was stationed in Germany there was a course(Platoon confidence training) in Bad Tolz run by Rangers our platoon trained twice a day 7 days a week for many months, we started the course with a little over 25 guys, only 11 of us finished it was a 2 week course with a few days in the mountains as the final test. This was the hardest thing I ever did in the Army if a woman can do it more power to her I will have no problem fighting beside her. If they want it then standards need to be equal.
