A top general said that "if the standards are so high that a female can't pass it then the service is going to have to justify why the standard is that high". So yes standards will be lowered all claims to the contrary are lies.

Also once standards are lowered so that Little Suzzie can qualify for any unit that Little Johnny can qualify for it will be time to make the move to have 18 year old girls register for the draft. And believe me any nation that would draft it's young women into combat is not a nation worth fighting for.

DITTO!!! I've got one granddaughter. She's a H.S. senior this year. She's a perfect little lady and not a phonyass, baseball hat wearing "tomboy". She has no business being in the military.

Some great comments on the whole subject of women in combat arms from my niece’s boyfriend, who ended a Marine enlistment about 18 months ago; he was a 240 gunner in Afghanistan.

That whole thread is worthwhile on the subject.

I read a quote a few years back by someone that went thusly." No Nation that lets its women do its fighting while the men stay home will survive."

A Nation's women are where it gets its future. From the children they produce. The future of a Nation lies with its women. That was widely recognized at one time. That is why the rule,"Women and children first in the lifeboats was enforced by force when necessary back in the seafaring days.
