When it was reported at the beginning of October that three female Marine officers had passed the Combat Endurance Test (CET), the initial entry screener for the Corp’s challenging Infantry Officer Course, the news was widely reported. You can read about it here, here, here, here, here, and here.
The story was indeed news. Up to that point, of the 24 women who had attempted the CET, only one had passed, and she had reportedly later been dropped from the overall course due to an injury. Struggling to get enough female officers into the course to produce a statistically significant result for its study of introducing women into combat roles, the Corps had directed that more seasoned female officers could attempt the course. Now three had made it over the first hurdle.
When all three were cut from the course last week for not meeting physical standards in subsequent training events, the news was not as widely reported. I have only found it here in the Christian Science Monitor, which, to its credit, has closely covered this issue from start:

As you read the above article about the social experiment of allowing women in US marine combat roles just remember that Congress NEVER VOTED to allow women in combat. They let uber leftist Obama decide what was best for the Armed Forces and the spineless JCS went right along with him, knowing damn well that study after study said it would degrade the combat effectiveness of the services. Now the truth is coming out. Will a new US Congress controlled by republicans attempt to change this madness. Not on your life.
Active Duty ping.
Stick to the standards. Period.
“We want our armed forces to have lower standards.”
Do the leftists understand how stupid that sounds?
To the left, lower standards is the end, not the means.
The left loves to f**k with My Marine Corps.
Women aren’t men, but like Obama, some men are women. He got confused, that’s all.
You bigot, there’s 53 genders.
Stay Firm. Keep the Current Standards.
We’re going to find out if the Marines too have been “fixed” like poodles.
Just damn, my bad, refresh my memory, list them if you will..
I would, but I just got notice its 54 now. Can’t keep track
They want ‘gender neutrality’ to p*ussify the West. Been the intention for YEARS.
I checked with a few Marines. Each of them said they always lower their standards for women after four beers and within an hour of last call.
Depends where you look. Actually, there are 71 genders, according to Facebook.
Me, I'm a male lesbian. A woman trapped in a man's body who desires women...
That makes my head hurt.
no no no!
Here we go. Who didn’t see this coming? Definitely not “unexpected”. Marines are going to die because of political correctness. DemocRATS can KMA!
