Lady, nothing stopped you from practicing extra chin-ups just because you trained with the women.

Like you said, 26 men failed with you. You are 63 INCHES TALL! I doubt many 5’3” men make it through either.

I’m glad that you don’t want the Marines to lower its standards. But wanting the Marines to spend very finite resources on making women meet the standards is not the best way for the Marines to accomplish its highest objectives either.

As you say, most women are considerably smaller than most men. Small men are at a disadvantage in combat, though it never seemed to slow the Japs or VC down all that much.

So here she is, probably 40% less strength than a shrimpy man of equal size, and she’s surprised that she didn’t pass.

BTW, that bit where she just collapsed and couldn’t go on? What does she think happens in combat to someone taken that way? Either somebody takes care of her, drastically reducing the unit’s efficiency, or she dies.
