At this point you aren't even arguing the same point as me, so I don't really see a reason to continue. My original point (and one I should have realized you didn't read) was that rather than spending time worrying about the details of whether or not male/female soldiers stacked up against each other time would be better spent improving the technologies available to the soldiers specifically that its the matter of weight. Go on, go back and read my messages in the parent thread accurately, no mention of a 120 lb woman moving a 220 lb man or even a refutation of that point.

The fact that you don't even recognize why increased muzzle velocity allows you to decrease the weight of your cartridge tells me you either never took a high school physics class or aren't even trying.

You are completely dismissive of any improvement that can't be done instantly, which seems childish and silly. Yes these things take time, but improvements in body armor, batteries, low power usage electronics and energy harvesting tech are not new technologies that need to be built from nothing. They are technologies which are already being commercially adapted, and with attitudes like yours would never see Army integration. It is always a sad day when soldiers feel like to best protect themselves they should be getting different tools than what the Army is willing to provide them.

This whole time you haven't really given any reason why any of the technologies I pointed out wouldn't lower the weight being carried, the guy who pointed out that even if you lowered the weight more would just be added used a much more coherent argument. Instead you have just as far as I can tell robotically parroted, "Weight isn't a solution, removing weight isn't practical, so it shouldn't be done".

Its the same reason why you didn't see the NV mounting fix as an actual issue, because you aren't looking at any sort of bigger picture. Weight itself isn't really the problem, the problem is fatigue, mobility loss, and musculoskeletal damage. Weight is just an easier target with reasonable changes that can be adapted from current technology to improve this matter.

Also if you don't think robotic carrier systems and exoskeleton research isn't relevant to this problem then I can't really help you because you are failing at reasoning 101.
