All-male ground combat squads proved faster, stronger and more lethal in most cases than units that included women, concludes a Marine Corps study that evaluated the impact of integrating women into all jobs.
The women also suffered higher injury rates during physically demanding training, according to a summary of the study released Thursday.
The Marine Corps faces a deadline the Pentagon has set for requiring military branches to open all specialties to women, including infantry and special operations forces, beginning next year.

So they paid for a study that had a predictable outcome? The usual idiocy of a large central government in action.

Women do not have the upper body strength to be able to “do anything little Lizbeth wishes to do”.
Several years ago, a retired military officer related how his outfit, which included several females, would get the “bug out” signal. However, they were never able to get the heavy equipment loaded on the trucks in order to bug out. So, they just didn’t bug out.

Wow, whodathunkit?
Women in combat units is a bad idea?
This study must have been racist. Or something.

Maybe they just have the wrong women.Let’s see how an all bull dyke platoon performs(in combat of course). If you can arrange things so that they are all PMSing at the same time, they'll way outperform the most savage and bloodthirsty Marine unit to ever exist.

Of course, our rulers don’t care about this, nor about the numerous social /moral/emotional problems caused by a mixed combat unit. For our rulers, the military’s purpose is like that of any other bureaucracy, the further their agenda.
