Women who pass SEAL training will likely be able to participate in the same military missions as their male counterparts, beginning in 2016.
The U.S. Naval Special Warfare Command put out a report saying the physical standards currently demanded of SEAL trainees should not be lowered, but that women who meet these standards ought to be given the chance to head into combat, Fox News reported.
The study will likely press Defense Secretary Ashton Carter to advance the cause for women in combat, with the effective date of January 2016, Fox said.
Carter has opened up 20,000 new positions to women since February, CNN reported. And at a Georgetown University event last week, he said he was pretty optimistic the military would open up all positions, including combat, to women by early 2016, CNN reported.
But he also courted controversy with separate comments at that same event.
When asked how the opening of combat positions to women would impact his push to end sexual assaults among troops, Carter said: Obviously, as we get women into more unaccustomed positions, maybe dangerous isolated positions, maybe positions where they are fewer, in relation to the number of men, it opens up opportunities for predators. I cant help but believe for many people theyll learn better how to conduct themselves, how to interact across gender lines and so forth. And that will contribute to prevention and eventually eradication of sexual assaults.
Republican Arizona Rep. Martha McSally said Carters statements actually counter any efforts to open combat roles to women, CNN reported.

I change my answer and agree. Jarrett I think is calling the shots while the Kenyan interloper plays golf.
Like Cruz said, only a terrorist attack on a golf course would matter to him
Not much more than a handful of the males get in and through it seems. Tough program - and needs to be. If a female makes it through with no modifications, then she earned it.
However, imagine the psyops of a female SEAL sniper taking out ISIS punks.
Where does it say that? everything in the story indicates that the standards will not be lowered.
that part would be cool. But don’t lower the standards.
I used to box and I KNOW in my heart if a female was in the room it would have affected my style, my temperament and my strategy to GREAT detriment but that’s just ne
lol
Because Obama is President and the standards have always been lowered before when women could not pass them.
Heck, a NYC woman became a firefighter after FAILING the tests.
Women didn’t fair to well in Marine Corp Infantry.
Plausible.
The larger and more damaging factor is the fact that men, real heterosexual men, trained from birth to protect women, will default to this position over all other mission considerations. In addition, there will inevitably be all sorts of "love triangular drama" infecting the ranks. This will lead to breakdowns in unit combat effectiveness and be a causal effect of failure and defeat.
Of course, the whole purpose behind feminizing and anything goes sex freaking of our military is to weaken it to such a state that it becomes completely ineffective against any threat.
bump
I have no objection if they keep the same standard. My guess though is that, if this is done honestly, no woman alive would pass SEAL training. Very few of the most fit men in the world pass. Given the gap between male and female strength and endurance, even a female Olympic athlete would be unlikely to pass.
If you read her background and quotes and thoughts on America you would tremble with anger
Challenge accepted.
I suspect it’s not an overnight task ...
:) I owe you one challenge!!
I do, although, I think that women should be taught to defend themselves and be gun owners.
Boys are girls are boys, etc. so you have to portray women in the same roles to destroy Traditions and Worldview in Christians which is based on Reason and Science (Laws of Nature). Our culture is attempting to warp the worldview of children by positing irrational concepts (Marxism) which conditions them to “see” women are men and two men are the same as the unity of a male and female—who can truly unite because of one-half of the reproduction system.
Putting women in combat roles denies the differences between male and female and removes women (the weaker sex) from the pedestal which gave them dignity and is conditioning them to destroy their nurturing instincts so they will easily kill their own genetic offspring even after they are born.
Christianity and Natural Law recognizes individuality-—uniqueness which has to include the role differences (biology) in males and females. To disregard Truth and Science is Marxism. Hierarchy is natural to all animals, for radical egalitarianism (Marxism) creates inefficiency and irrationality and a complete destruction of Excellence. And that is what the Marxists are doing: destroying the Christian Worldview to destroy Virtue (Excellence) and collapse the culture.
The Marxists have to corrupt the minds of the children, as Lenin stated—to “see” irrationality as normal, to flip good and evil, and erase Truth (God) and Natural Law (God’s Design), so that children will be devoid of Wisdom and will never be able to be critical thinkers (educated) because all their assumptions are cr*p—boys are girls are boys and vice is virtue...irrational Marxism.
Everywhere that women have gone in the military, the standards have been lowered for them, and then the school degrades for everyone.
Females cannot be with males in the real male world, without them having a corrosive effect.
Currently, when the military has standards that women can't pass, the military is being required to justify that standard.
After more than 40 years of this, how can people keep repeating that saying? They have never kept the same standard, ever. Females in the military are, and always have had, a different standard.
If they didn't have a female standard, then almost no females would be in the military.
If The Won were catastrophically incompetent, he’d occasionally “get it right”, just by accident.
Has he ever “gotten it right”?
I can't think of any time ... ever. Even disposing of bin Laden was messed up.
