Wars are not a matter of physical strength, being biologically weaker wouldn't prevent a woman from, say, operating a drone.

Agree. But we have to keep this limitation in mind. There could be situations where you have to carry a drone or batteries from place to place for example.

Sure, we use a couple of Hanks for that. Sherley and Melinda will catch the bullets just fine.

If you are sitting in a air condition office in Germany operating
drones, it doesn't matter much.
In a war, if you are anywhere near the frontline physical strength is of vital importance.
In the most basic form, can you pick up a fallen soldier and carry that soldier out of harm's way?
However, I know many women who are far stronger than me, and would be more useful in the frontline than me.
Gender is not the only factor.
