Poor insanity. Will they lower standards for everyone so women won’t feel offended by men who are better fit?

In the field, the Marines will berth together but will not share tents, Pappa said.

Is it gonna be berth or birth?

"There will be no standards changed for this research," he added.

Okay...Hopefully those standards will be strictly adhered to. *rolling eyes*

I guess the gals will say, “This is my rifle, these are my guns”?

if they do it without lowering the standards one iota from what they were when only men were doing it, then all power to them, I’m not gonna tell any of them no. Nor will I tell them that they are being retarded or amoral.

Now let’s see just how many of theme keep to those same standards.

-because the standards are already established to be much lower than any male will be required to attain.

How much do you actually know about the females in the Israel armed forces? I suspect that there are many unresolved issues; plus there may not be full integration for all assignments.

I also think that women in the Israeli Armed Forces have been participating in some capacity for decades.

Israel does not have females in combat situations. It didn’t take them long to figure out that it wasn’t working as expected. Men are men and chivalry has no place in the front lines.

Females can’t do it so of course the standards will be lowered, just as they have been in every other situation from law enforcement to firefighting for the last 45 years.

When they say women will “be allowed” to get into a job they are unqualified for, it means, “there will be women in this job, period” regardless of what that takes.

Anyone who thinks that women will be allowed to fail and that any job will just remain all male once it is decided that it won’t, is out of touch with reality.

By Day 29 of training, females must pass the curriculum or they are sent to MCT.

Of course, if their 30-day cycle happens to occur during part of their *cough* training, they will of necessity be given sufficient time off to rest and recuperate before continuing on, unlike their male counterparts who are allowed no such equivalent recuperation period.

The female graduates will earn the infantry designation...

We need a new "designation". Or are we going to issue them green berets and SEAL patches as well? How about LRRP, Force Recon, and Delta Force titles as well?

Once again, our nation is sacrificing its security for the sake of misguided and completely unnatural “equality”.
