Why would any country want to put women in combat roles. They are not thinking of the consequences.
We have to fix this!
Lower the standards immediately!
“I don’t trust anything that bleeds for five days and doesn’t die...”
In the realm of all available women, there are surely females who can lead just as effectively as men; who can out PT, out shoot, out fight your average male Marine Officer candidate going through this course, if measured by the same exact standards and requirements as the men. At the very least, there are surely females who can best the male Marines who barely squeak by and pass the course. What this exercise has proved is that none of those women chose to compete for the position and that they are darned few and very far between.
If they lower the standards one iota to accommodate lesser females, then the exercise will be proven a farce and will be the biggest insult I could imagine to females. But if they ever do find a female that passes this course under the same standards and requirements demanded of males, then she will have proven herself a truly exceptional woman with a proven ability to lead.
Doesn’t seem to be a failure at all, seems to be a confirmation of the prior held position.
The thing about all these efforts to get women into these combat positions is that eventually one or to or five women will pass one of these courses, my guess is it will probably be a reservist with excellent fitness and ambition but little intention of living the life as a career.
The fight then will then be not to prove that one female is capable, but to keep the SJWs from erasing the mountains of prior evidence and experience that proves how inefficient finding one token female is, and how that mountain of evidence justifies the status quo, not the further squandering of resources to find the next one or pretend that all female servicemen are equally capable.
This story is full of inaccuracies. While I respect Marines, and my pappy was a Marine. The finest Warriors the world has ever known are from the U.S. Army Military Police Corps. Just sayin’
Military experiment ping
Ground combat is a gruesome task for strong men led by stronger men. Even the toughest are broken and slaughtered. Marine Corps infantry is no place for social experimentation, and pretending otherwise is a recipe for disaster. I credit USMC leadership for not compromising our standards, but it is past time to put this phony issue to rest.
Oh, a woman can certainly lead. Not in physically gruelling combat, but there are plenty of other military tasks at which women are perfectly capable of leading.
Much of the advance of civilization--something clearly being reversed in our present era (civilization that is)-- relates to honoring the vast difference between the sexes. All new life springs from those primary differences. In the West, this was seen clearly in the development of a Chivalric code; where protecting women was seen as a primary male duty--a duty that helped bring out the best in young men;--a duty that in the military often inspired courage and sacrifice "above & beyond" the call of duty, itself.
We are all, men & women, boys & girls, alike, being betrayed by gutless politicians who are so worthless as to let themselves be absolutely intimidated by an irrational hue & cry from those who compulsively would deny the realities of nature.

Obozo will not take no for an answer. The Marine Corp Commandant will lower standards so women can quality for anything a man does or be summarily fired.
