The Ministry of Defence admits it is reviewing military physical fitness standards in preparation for the expected announcement later this year that women will be allowed to serve in all front-line combat units, including the infantry and SAS.
The MoD denies that standards will be reduced, but of course that is precisely what is going to happen. Generals having put up a fight for many years have been told women will join front-line units and, like the good soldiers they are, intend to make it work.
The people who have demanded this change politicians desperate to be seen as progressive, feminist zealots and ideologues hell-bent on equality of opportunity without exception would never dream of volunteering. Indeed only a very small number of women will want to join the infantry and of those only a fraction will have the physical capability. Hence the need to lower the bar.
This is an extremely dangerous move. Physical fitness is the single most important building block for an infantry soldier. Everything else depends on it. The only people who fully understand the demands of infantry close combat are infantrymen themselves. I have not heard a single serving or retired infantryman say that admitting women is the right thing to do unless their wives or senior officers are listening. The overwhelming majority are vehemently opposed and many have said that if women join they will leave.
Why do feelings run so high? Because every infantryman knows that the price for this social engineering experiment will be paid in blood

“See how satire conceals the truth within?”
Yes, the satire around here is sometimes so good my BP goes up before I realize it’s just satire. But the kernels of truth within are usually bad enough.
How did you like Sinop?
Well, those willing to lay down their lives for their friends are covered! :) Those responsible for their deaths, another scenario.
LOL. Not if you put the stuff back where it belongs.
having babies, nursing babies, raising babies and children is a traditional mothers role...a woman's role...that role has been devastated by the need for women to work outside the home to keep the family in food and shelter and it also has been devastated by this cockamamie idea that fathers can be mothers, which they can not be, helped along by a fanatical probably homosexually based "men's rights" cabal....
so why would we be surprised that young women will be sent to combat?.....its logical....men are the same as women and women are the same as men....right?
in a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is revolutionary...
Oh goodness, ain't that the truth? My wife would eliminate flat surfaces if she could - she says they give me too much space to put 'stuff'. I keep trying to get her to understand that her 'cleaning' is just putting my stuff in less conspicuous places...it goes on and on... HA!
Kemp: "Other than equal opportunities the Government has failed to put forward any arguments for lifting the ban on women in the infantry. That is because there are none. This foolish move will reduce the capability of the infantry, undermine our national defences and put lives in danger."
THAT IS THE REASON
from Daily Mail on Kemp's article:
"A Ministry of Defence spokesman said: The MOD is undertaking a review to establish the physical standards required for ground close combat, which is due to complete in 2019.
"'It will be based upon the principle that any standards will be related to the required role rather than individual characteristics.
'No decisions have been taken and any claims of what this will involve are pure speculation.
Colonel Kemp has previously argued that women lack the 'killer instinct' necessary to fight in close combat."

As if reality about serious combat has anything to do with this?
I have to know where my crud is. I absolutely HATE wasting time looking for crap. I want to be able to find it in the dark. When you are cooking or under fire, time is of the essence. Relatively speaking.
The MoD denies that standards will be reduced,
If the standards are not going to be reduced, why are they being reviewed?
