Sports is one thing and can be considered. But none of the exercises she does compares to the need to protect herself, her unit, or the finalization of the mission.

I agree. Girls still need to pass the schools. Also, I trust the Army figure out if an officer does not have the right stuff. Same as they do with male officers.

13foxtrot,

At the moment, to my knowledge, they aren’t just trying to grow officers for command status downrange. They are talking about placing women in the direct line of a firefight and having to have the tools necccesary and firing on all cylinders coming our of the chute. You and I know the one area they will not have available to them is the physical strength pertaining to upper body needs like they should have. Women are just not built that way. They will put their unit in jeopardy. It’s not their fault, but it is the fault of stupid thinking to get them there to fail. And that is the head shed.
