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

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.

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.
