I know some Crossfit level women who can more than withstand the rigors of Quantico.

Let them try again. If they washed out on the FIRST day, there is little chance that they will make it through the entire course.

The very strongest woman can only hope to compete with a well below average male in physical stamina.

The Army is conducting a study to test just how fit a soldier has to be to engage in combat. Let's see, what will the study find, that we need higher standards, the same standard we use, or that we can get by with a lower standard.

I wonder why there is no push to put women in the NFL or MLB? Is it because there are physical differences?
To: RoosterRedux
Combat is not crossfit. It is a fight to the death with whatever is at hand, even if all you have is bare hands. Combat is no place for any girl, not if you want to live and win.
To: RoosterRedux
I thought they said the standards weren’t going to be lowered?

Here is the truth...
The very strongest woman can only hope to compete with a male slightly below those of very strongest in physical stamina.
I have worked out for years and run and biked against women.
The best of them are way ahead of the average male.
The average male can barely get off the couch...much less compete in a physical contest.

She must truly hate her body to deface it that way.
