Some years ago I saw a documentary on Marine recruit training.The premise was that they followed two platoons of recruits through training...one female platoon and one male.The claim was that both platoons were getting *exactly* the same training....no allowances for being female.

After one day of particularly tough training they interviewed several members of both platoons.The guys were clearly tired,sore and visibly "dis-spirited".But all of them made it clear that they could hack it.

The women were weeping like little girls.

I kid you not.

My son is a Marine, and went through Parris Island.
He said the women there got treated differently, and during the final phase called the crucible there were some women who never carried their packs, and yet graduated.
He said the Corps is under pressure to have more women , and the problem is that many women suffer injuries during MCT, and basic.
Now his combat unit is waiting to get a couple of women,and all the guys he is with did not want them as they are known to be useless.
The problem is General Neller who is a little more PC with women etc.
