Women in a new Marine Corps unit created to assess how female service members perform in combat were injured twice as often as men, less accurate with infantry weapons and not as good at removing wounded troops from the battlefield, according to the results of a long-awaited study produced by the service.
The research was carried out by the service in a nine-month long experiment at both Camp Lejeune, N.C., and Twentynine Palms, Calif. About 400 Marines, including 100 women, volunteered to join the Ground Combat Element Integrated Task Force, the unit the Marine Corps created to compare how men and women do in a combat environment.

No kidding
File Under, “Duh!”
WE’re not quite Starship Troopers standards.. Yet.
COed showers after a hard day of bending and thrusting would have been nice.
Will this reporter for the Washington Post now lose his job?
This report can’t be true, it must be based on sexism./s
These are the facts. Its very physically demanding to be a successful Marine, or so I’m told. In most physically demanding efforts, males have a distinct advantage.
I thought everybody knew that.

In related news, water is wet.
OMG!
I hope this 9 month long study didn’t cost the tax payers more than a dollar.
Note to women everywhere.
There is an expression, several in fact to which you and all others should pay heed.
Stay within yourself
Know your limits
Do not let your ego write a check which your ass cannot cash
Stay home and raise children, it is the most important job and imo the hardest job do do properly. Remember the children are our future.
Keep the home for your husband and children. Cook, nurture, take care of yourself and always look your best when hubby comes home.
Every once in a while greet him at the door naked ( send the kids to your mothers first).
Do woman stuff and let the men do men stuff.
Simply awesome!
Of course, we are misogynistic turds and have little or no understanding of things, right?
I have the highest regard for women, otherwise my wife would tell you so.
You must mean the movie, because the BOOK was spot on.
It’s still on the reading list of all US service academies.
This is all social engineering (Marxism).
Simply part of the Marxist programming to destroy individualism and sexual identity formation in children by pretending males and females are interchangeable which will collapse Western Civilization.
Destroying the idea of Natural Law Theory-—basis of Reason and our Constitution—that which created Individualism and Natural Rights from God has to be destroyed in the conscience of children growing up-—all Common Sense removed, all Natural Instincts in girls and boys removed-—so that they can create interchangeable drones for the State slavery.
Remove Reason, remove Logic/critical thinking-—and you have just tribal minds who believe Up is Down, Girls are boys, Slavery is Freedom, etc.
Marxists have to destroy Reason with the Marxist “gender””theory” (LIES) which removes Truth and Reason and understanding of Natural Law (that which created the Age of Reason and Modern Science and Individualism/Capitalism and private property rights.)
State wants to be God and wants mindless, non-thinking bots who just take orders and are dependent-—like the obamalady. Got to train men to fight and hate women, and women to fight and hate males, and remove mothers and fathers from any natural roles (all biological connections removed = homosexual “marriage” LOL so that the State can shape the minds of all children in artificial “group think” factories).
Individualism comes from inside the Natural Family—as does Common Sense/Logic and Reason. GK Chesterton stated that the only reason for mandatory education was to destroy the Common Sense in the Common People. He was right—look how dumb our graduating children are!!!! No ability for logic because they have been raised in artificial systems of mass indoctrination and by watching TV screens. Few real life human interactions where they practiced controlling their base emotions. Their emotions were totally controlled by (irrational) artificial means and usually by the sodomites in Hollywood. That is why our young adults are so puerile and ignorant and so easily manipulated and controlled by the Leftists.....they are dumb as stumps with not an ounce of self-control or Virtue.
NO SH**!
We ‘Old Army Types’ have known that since 1972 but DARPA wouldn’t listen.
Well, in the name of gender equity, I’m sure our enemies will take the fragile nature of our newer troops and tone down the attacks. /s
Here is my shocked face :-0

True story. On my wedding day (4/25/65) after the ceremony we got in the back of the Limo to head for the reception and first thing I did was turn on the radio ( back seat had one). My wife asked what I thought I was doing and I said I was getting the ball scores.
It set the tone for our marriage and we have been together ever since.
