Something the Marines realized from the beginning. Good to see the Army is finally facing reality.

Well, actually, it's the British Army that's finally facing reality.

Unfortuneately, it's not our Army that is making this change, it't the Brits.

Good to see political correctness being thrown out the window. Zut Alors! You mean women have different bodies than men do?

You betcha. Men need 20 mile hikes with packs on to strengthen legs, ankles, hips. Women are naturally stronger from the top of the hips down. They need to work on upper body conditioning and strength if they are gonna be warriors.

I think it is the British Army. Ours is mired in PC think.

Technically, the US Army (the senior service) realized this from the beginning (1775). It was only in the mid 1980s that politicians locked targets on the largest service and politicized General Officer careerists caved in.

Some day, we may rightly return to single-sex training for the sex-integrated branches.
