They say standards were not lowered. . . .they said.

>>“This whole issue has driven us to ensure that we have the right standards aligned to each occupational specialty in the Army,” Wesley said. “We have created a gender-neutral, standards-based training environment, where it no longer becomes a question of male or female. … It makes us better.”<<

IOW, “We lowered standards. A LOT!”

Where they will either fail or get passed by getting the standards lowered.

...and they will fail in Mountain phase or when they hit the swamps and meet Mr. Cottonmouth.

Well, that sounds very stylish.

In the meantime, Runner’s World has an article on how cat calling women runners is intimidating to women and all men need to put a stop to it.

The standard is staying alive and keeping those under their command in the same condition.

Glad I’m not part of that experiment.

Eventually they’ll become platoon leaders at Fort Hood in Texas or Fort Bragg in North Carolina.

That presumes they qualify and stick with it.

I bet many will die because of these LIB social workers messing with the military training requirements. So sad that these leftist losers are doing that.

The article left out the part regarding how this strikes fear into the heart of Putin, ISIS and the Red Chinese.

We all know from NCO trainers in the camp that the women got a little more rest and food than the men.

I’m convinced they also packed out lighter.

Runner’s World has an article
Runner’s World has been "progressive" for a very long. I read Running Times for many years, until they were bought out by RW.

Wonder if any will end up with a quietly and among the officer and enlisted ranks, the whispered nickname “Wonder Woman”?

[George from New England]

Why in creation would any females want to go this route ?

Betcha that they are getting $$$ under the table or behind the scenes to ‘con’ them into taking this career path.

[FreedomStar3028]

I wish women would catcall me. I think I’d find it flattering.

I liked Heinlein's "Amazon Warriors" in "Tunnel In The Sky." The principle was that you could train female warriors to their maximum combat potential but they didn't fight the same way as the men because they were physically and mentally different. That way women who wanted to be in combat could be. They fought in separate battalions from the men and were extremely effective in the book.

Logical but politically incorrect.

I hope we have a slew of competent SGTs to help out in the field.

Yeah, I almost subscribed until I started seeing articles like this. The catcalling article also - get this - managed to take a swipe at Donald Trump. I'm like, what the f**k does this have to do with running? Maybe I'll post it here later.
