And I agree, some girls can be in combat positions.[b] Flying a
F16 or launching a Tomahawk missile doesnt depend on
strength. So Air Force and Navy is no problem. Maybe SG can get
some babes in Officer positions. I remember Michelle Chia looked
pretty hot a while back 
But if a girl is strong enough to be in the army, then she's
probably pretty butch. Don't expect any Fann Wong type girls making
the grade as a soldier. Could you imagine someone like Joanne Peh
being able to lug a 20 kg backpack around for 15 km?

Flying F16 doesn't depend on strength but it depends whether you
can handle pressure both mentally and physically. mentally would be
the fast reaction and decisiveness.
physically would be the speed, not many can take the pressure when
flying at incredible fast speeds or executing chains of drastic
maneuvours just to evade situations like being locked on or trying
to get ur enemy off ur back.
but i can suggest that air control or other type of controls could
be pushed to girls. i think it will be morale boosting if u'r the
pilot communicating wif ground control who is a female probably
encouraging u while u'r abt to face life and death. don't knoe abt
u guys think.. 
anyway females in ns could be a great idea, but on the economic
side, it doesn't look quite well
