In an effort to maintain the new status quo of cutting standards everywhere in the name of equality and "progress", the Marine Corps announced major changes over the Fourth of July holiday weekend regarding how much it will allow service members to weigh, and the biggest shift comes for women: going forward "larger" ladies will be allowed to defend the country while also standards used within the physical fitness test will also be relaxed.
In a document released by USMC Fitness division, the new height and weight standard took effect on July 1, 2016 and is relaxing regulations to increase the pool of potential parties. Think of it as a covenant lite loan in a way... only "heavy." Why would the US do this? One could be excused for understandably saying that the US is becoming more progressive and is accommodating those who have the heart to serve but not necessary the physical capability.
We see a different reason for the US to be relaxing admission tests, which is this chart highlighting weak capacity from the Heritage US Military Strength Index:

I thought the writing on the wall was the midnight retreat out of Iraq; we just lost two wars against Islam, with little hope of ever winning one if we insist it is a “religion of peace”.
Remember the convoy with the three women (one killed, two captured) in Iraq? When Iraqis realized we were sending women to fight them, they must have realized they couldn’t lose - and history has since borne that out.
This is a good idea. Cover them in armor. Make them take point. Mount them up with a .50 machine gun. Be like following a tank.
Or form them into a firing line and order them forward. Call it the charge of the light brigade.
OMG!!!! Words fail.
We’re becoming a nation of tubbies. The Services have to do what they have to do.
I would rather they simple disband my beloved Corps and just let us have our 240 years of glorious history than subject my Marine Corps to this continuous bullshit.
just like ..
“Ghost busters No?”
You know the fat Hollywood bomba movie.
Anyone else think the military just got cowed by BBWs? Or was it the necessarily heavier shemales? Or the epidemic of of fat carpet munchers? A formidable force when taken together.

I’d throw some Cheetos at you if I could get off the couch.
Give me a few minutes.
Same here. I'd rather it cease to exist than watch it be ruined by having it turned into a jobs program for fat chicks, homos, and trannies.
We are ripe to be taken over... and deservedly so.
It’ll never again be the beloved corps that we remember. So sad.
Strac, a term I haven’t heard in many years.
Welcome to FR.
I saw a female Marine in dress blues today wearing the traditional male cover. It just seemed wrong. Hard to explain.
How many lard ass BAMs would it have taken to capture Mount Suribachi and raise the American flag at the summit?
Nope, not hard to explain. You describe the image, that says it all.
Seventy percent of Americans are overweight. Some women in the minority community have huge butts and muffin tops as a matter of ethnic pride.
