Yep. And there was this in the article as well:

“...Almost half of female soldiers have failed the weakened Army Combat Fitness Test (ACFT) in the first half of 2020, according to data that was released on Monday.

In comparison, only seven percent of male soldiers failed the ACFT throughout the year. This is another stake through the heart of the Left’s equality lie.

The ACFT consists of six different events, and the test has been changed since last year. Women are now allowed to skip the leg tucks, which had a 41 percent fail rate. Even though the test has been weakened, 44 percent of women still failed the test in the first half of the year.

Big League Politics has reported on how the military is going woke, no longer caring so much about winning wars or keeping America safe as they do about promoting feminism and transgenderism at home and abroad…"

Wow.

They are simply ignoring physical strength and fitness. They don't care, and aren't even bothering to hide it.

I am willing to bet that they deal with this by requiring the failing person to take some PT course, go to a diet class, and then they are good until the next ACFT is required. Wash, Rinse, Repeat.

Nobody is punished or adversely affected. The military in place now views fitness as unimportant, and think our military is going to be fighting its battles from armchairs.

Well, this battle to preserve the capability of individual soldiers has been lost. As they said, it is all about promoting feminism and transgenderism, both abhorrent to discipline and effectiveness. The next real battle is going to result in real bloodshed.

And the people responsible for this travesty are all going to be...unavailable. As Leftists always are when their idiocy results in defeat for America. In Afghanistan, they are already trying to, and succeeding in re-writing the narrative.

This is terribly discouraging.

Youtube has a category labeled shorts... videos about under 60 secs, lots from tik-tok.

Quite a few from serving military.

Apparently a big fav of those are vids of folk getting tasered, lots of those...and quite a few enlisted short fat girls taking the hit.

What’s being shown in many of them is that lack of fitness....surprised the heck out of me.

All you gotta do is watch some episodes of American Ninja Warrior. Men and women have to run the exact same obstacle courses, and the girlies wash out left and right. The ones that do make it through all the way have trained like crazy, focused on some particular skillsets and may have some genetics that gave them an edge, but were still seriously beat & exhausted at the end. Also youth plays a part and they age out of effectiveness before the men do. The courses get harder as the competition continues and they all eventually get eliminated. So much for that equality red herring.
