>>1) the standards will be relaxed for women. Perhaps not officially but commanders will be required to explain why the job can’t be done by a woman, and no answer will be adequate.
You are quite correct! As with everything this regime has done, the unspoken truth is the most important part. McSally said that only “qualified” women should fill combat roles, but we all know that when enough “qualified” women are not available, there will be questions as to why women fail to qualify. Then, the standards will start to drop, unofficially of course!
If women are such great war-fighters, then lets just form Amazon units and let them fight on a level playing field with the male units. This would be a great opportunity to prove the equality of the sexes.
Why not put a man and a woman of the same weight in a boxing ring and any woman that beats the man gets to train for the Infantry.
