Here is the thing. Why do you think the Marine Corps is doing the opposite of the other services by attempting to hold females to the same PFT standard? I think what they are doing is brilliant. By proving that females cannot be held to the same basic PFT standard as males, they are also proving there is no way in hell females will meet the MOS specific standards to hold a combat arms MOS. This is their way of saluting and saying Aye Aye Sir, while proving the civilian leadership are wrong on this. The Marine Corps has been adamant about not lowering it’s standards for any reason. The sky is not falling. Once this thing plays out the Marine Corps will come out on the good end.
I hadn’t considered that angle and I hope you’re right, but I think if it plays out the way you say it will then there will suddenly be more talk again of eliminating the Marine Corps entirely. The bastards who are driving this agenda do not have the country’s best interests at heart.
