“women get injured more frequently, shoot less accurately “
I’m sure there are plenty of articles written for publication by *ambitious* junior officers saying different.
“I Would Like To Be The First To Buckle With Our New Female Overlords”
by Captain America
Chapter 1 Swallowing Your Vomit
Women would make great snipers if their targets were other women cause they’d never miss.
My only point is that, in my opinion, even if women were physically capable, their presence would still diminish combat effectiveness.
lol
In other news: sun rises in east, Bill Clinton breaks his wedding vows, and fish poop in the ocean.
“Kill a commie for mommie.!” Aah, the good old days.
Let the males shoot further back with small targets and the females shoot closer with bigger targets. Problems solved.
If it wasn’t for sexist bigotry there would be all female tank crews and gun crews. They could demonstrate their natural superiorty in those venues.
Of course this is really about ticket punching in pursuit of more female eagles and stars.

Hey advertisers, thank ME for making this call.
we need to stop experimenting with this nonsense before many get hurt or killed....Women are wonderful, but they should be nowhere near an invasion force of special ops....sorry.
Someone will see his career hit a sudden DEAD END.
How good are they after humping a full combat load in 115 deg heat for 2 hours? How good are they when all hell is breaking loose in a close ambush? I too know many women who can shoot at paper targets with the best of men. The question the Marine Corps wanted answered was how good can they shoot under extreme mental and physical stress?
The Washington Post didn’t tell the entire story. In the Marine Corps Times the women interviewed after this experiment almost to a tee stated the infantry was not for them. There were 2 that said they could do it, but they wouldn’t have careers as long as men. My beloved Marine Corps did this right. They set up this test so no one could fudge the numbers. The Corps has also stated that there is no way they will water down the standards to appease the morons.
I was not addressing that and I do share your concerns.
Only true if they were shooting them in the back!
Gender-neutral standards that apply to all?
Why not use the existing male standards? Is that a problem?
100% on the PFT: 20 Pull-ups, 90 Crunches in 2 minutes, 18 minutes for the 3-mile run.
Not many men score 100%. How many women would? Any?
WAIT A SECOND...I swim in the ocean...what's this about fish?????
