I mentioned this before, so I’ll be brief.

At the US Army Airborne School, there are pull-up bars outside of the mess halls...and the students have to do a certain number before they eat.

The reason - the older style parachutes, which are used in training, require strength and a pull up like movement to steer - keeps everybody in the sky safer if everybody can steer.

The women - they have their own bar a few feet off the ground, and do a pull up/sit up type thing. For reasons that escape me, it is not important that the women students be strong enough to steer.

Yes there are some women physically capable of going to Ranger School - but the vast majority are not. I’m actually more alarmed about opening up all MOS to women.

So with deep cuts coming due will this affirmative action give preference to women and degenerates over able bodied males.

“Sorry son, we know you qualified, but we haven’t met the Pentagon required quotas for the other 56 genders. Damn shame.”
