I definitely don’t buy into a lesser standard for ANY combat participant, and if the greatest military on earth can’t train up ANY person, male or even female, than we’re f&cked as a military force—if the standard is political correctness. If it’s PC for women then it’s PC for men and all standards are lowered.

I don’t know enough to make a call that the greatest military in history is a PC paper tiger.
