This PC crap is the stuff that will get our brave MEN killed. She either performs at their level, or goes home. This PC garbage has to stop.
Why would someone want to graduate under pretense? How could they feel proud of being a Green Beret?
When America gets its comeuppance on the battlefield it will be brutal and posted for all to see on the web.
Also, from a couple years ago, the women undergoing training got more sleep and food than the guys did. (and still only 2 "passed")
To understand why the military allows this corruption, you only need to know of their dependence on the wimps in congress for their funding.
They are going to get people killed
That "passing" would be a snapshot in time, and the woman would have be trained to an extreme peak to pass if standards were not lowered. The problem for women is that they don't have naturally produced steroids like men do that give them an innate advantage...testosterone.
Men can reach a physical peak and stay there far longer then women can with less strenuous training. As soon as a woman stops intense training, her conditioning will fall off faster than a man's does, so she would have to keep exercising at a much higher level to keep her anywhere near the bottom level of physical fitness held by the bottom tier of men in Special Forces.
This is not a knock on women, it is a statement of fact.
It is unrealistic and dangerous to place an expectation that women will be able to do this without lowering of standards, and the lowering of standards is inherently dangerous.

I have posted about our younger generation female Amazon babes being tough but not tough enough to be rangers/green berets or Spec Ops.
Their core strength/resilience isn’t anywhere as strong as our younger male jocks of the same age.
As an 80 year old and out of shape grampa, I have been able to out arm wrestle all of our female clan from my age to teenagers for decades.
Two nieces with college scholarships in basketball and volleyball challenged one of our sons, a wrestler decades ago. In less than a minute, he put both down on the yard and immobilized them and pinned them. They were stunned and out of breath in less than a minute. He had not wrestled in a couple of years, and his core was still in shape.
Last but not least, only one female relative has hunted and killed deer, wild turkeys, ducks, geese and other critters.
The rest don’t want to kill anything.
Whether true or not - and I suspect that it is true - we used to tell our politicians that the US military is not a petri dish for their social experiments. What a change; now our military “leaders” are leading the way in social experimentation.
“..will affect the high standard of pride and moral of the men and future women. . .”
That is exactly what they want to happen. Obama cost the military the Officer Corp and they continue to find way to infiltrate and rot the military from the inside. More examples
Two things.
First, the military is self-correcting. Anyone who does not pull their weight is not looked after by the troops around them. Without the support of the “team”, individuals request out or are casualties of combat. This applies to all of the social experiment entrants into combat arms. If your pull your weight and can be counted on to have your buddies back, you’re in. If you don’t or can’t, you life expectancy on the field of combat is much shorter. And remember, there are no generals on overwatch at the squad/platoon level.
Second. There is a recent news story of a case of domestic abuse. The abuser (man) is a trained boxer, the victim (woman) is a trained MMA fighter who was scheduled to fight a title fight in January. Given the closeness of the scheduled title fight, I assume the woman was training hard and in top physical shape, yet she was beaten by a similarly trained man. Horrible situation and I hope that guy rots in jail if the events described are true, but it shows once again that men are just stronger and more suited for combat than an equally trained woman.
We should be putting all our energies into creating a military that can stop China, not a bunch of pansies, girls and trannies.
Right now China will cut through us like a hot knife through butter.
China is coming. This is their song:
