SAS considers watering down its gruelling selection tests to give women a better chance of joining the elite unit Test toughness could be lowered as women are given chance to join SAS in 2019 It could mean women will carry a lighter load during marches in Brecon Beacons But a source said it is about 'levelling the playing field', not 'lowering standards'

SFQC. They guarantee a beret/full flash to anyone who makes it through selection process. We had to pass either the NCO or SFOC part. The map reading course was tough even for INF OCS types

That’s insane!!!! No way would I want to be on a ODA, especially on a direct action mission. The accomplishment of the mission requires every team member to put out 120% without even thinking about it, more if you lose one or more team members.
Secondly, many of their host country missions will suffer since they would hesitate to listed to a female.
Agree. No one wants a slacker in SF much less on any combat OP. I recall when I went through the SFOC in 67 that we still focused on UW plus CI. We were more force multipliers.
I’m female and this kinda cr@p really torques me off.
Note to some fellie females: So you lost at the genetic lottery and can’t meet the same standards as these men. Too. Damn. Bad. The mission, the personnel, your country are infinitely more important than your bloody self-esteem issues.
Suck it up and find another way to serve.
Fellow females...
it seems to me the only females that would want to be in the SAS, SEALs, Special Forces are more interested in being men than women...
be what you’re good at
socialism doesn’t work as an economy, it won’t work any better as a military
forming at the mouth librls are usually socialists who preach women are no different than men and all that crap, are now preaching the same verse for military
a kind of socialism of the military so to speak
guess i could’ve been clearer
FWIW, I have absolutely no problem with women serving as long as said women can meet the same standards as are set for the men. The desire to serve and protect, to fight, to win, to excell isn’t exclusive to xy chromosomes :-)
Yep.
I’m disappointed. They are the more powerful gender, as they can create human life. You’d think that would add a color to the debate that would change governance for the better.
Who knew they’d lobby for the right to kill their own children under the Constitution as their first act. The very source of their power, and they fritter it away. Moreover, its the first time the right to kill another human being was ever interpreted from a founding document.
It’s a head-shaker.
i agree, do what you are good at and let others do what they are good at and no compromises for either
War and survival is not about leveling the playing field.
If they want to be idiots, let them be idiots.

You know if most or all the women die the men will be blamed for it.
100%... just NOT the ones that put them there
