Of course we were promised this wouldn't happen.
Progressives are as good as their word.

We all knew this was coming. If the standards are too tough for women, then lower the standards.

Of 29 women who tried, none graduated; only four made it through the first days combat endurance test. Lots of soldiers will die.

The Marines are not fighting the war on women, they are fighting the enemy.

If the standards are lowered then the casualties will be raised.

Every time a female replaces a male in the military, the overall effectiveness of our forces, declines a touch, today they are about 15%, so the decline has been substantial, and the goal is to reach 50% or more.
Why would the military be SEEKING to replace soldiers and sailors with replacements that are a shorter, lighter, weaker, sicklier, less aggressive, slower moving, more terrain limited, reduced distance traveling, hygienically vulnerable, smaller weight carrying, more prone to injury, version.

incrementalism. easily stopped by saying no.
as an extra bonus, once you say ‘no’ you get to hear the liberals cry nonstop. at that point, just point and laugh... and say ‘no’ again.

There should be no standards, and everyone should get a plastic trophy at the finish.

As a woman this sickens me. There is a role for men and women in life and they are not the same nor should they be.

Lowering our standards for Marines makes as much sense as lowering our standards when voting for the White House. Sadly, liberals approve of both in the name of diversity, no matter how many good people die as a result.

Soldiers will die because of this PC Crap. No, MARINES will die because of this PC Crap (and anyone else they're trying to protect.)
1. The mission will not be accomplished.
2. The welfare of the Marines will be degraded, and they will be endangered.

The Marine Corps just finished research to see if female officers could successfully complete its rigorous Infantry Officer Course.And they discovered that the vast majority of women, if not all, can't cut it. That alone doesn't mean the Marine Corps will lower standards - as it is, the Corps still segregates men/women for boot camp.
BTW, the picture in the article is very deceiving. From the caption:
"Pfc. Christina Fuentes Montenegro and other Marines from Delta Company, Infantry Training Battalion, School of Infantry-East,
receive final instructions prior to assaulting an objective during the Infantry Integrated Field Training Exercise aboard Camp Geiger, N.C., Nov 15, 2013."
These are NOT women on the Infantry Officer Course. It's an 18 month old picture of new women Marines undergoing basic infantry instruction after boot camp.
All Marines - men and women - get this training.

How about this for a compromise?
We'll lower the standard for some, but will use them to form a battalion that will be called upon in case we ever go back to war with France.
To: C19fan
Good article and always like Rowan Scarborough’s reporting. That said, the WashTimes website sucks donkey balls!!
As to the topic, the Marines have a strong case with data that are not skewed by changing any standard for IOC. Perfumed princes like Dempsey need to just butt out. The politicians that get the US into international scrapes will be glad in the future if this is left well-enough alone.
