Sick that a platoon of Riflemen have to answer to a woman. A dark day in Corps history.

This would have never happened if Mattis was still alive. I remember he always said a lot of tough sounding things.

25% do not pass the course.

and 93% (or so) of females fail it as well.

they did not lower the standards far enough apparently. /s

Now, any grunts in her company will have to watch every little thing they say to each other, lest it be ruled profane and/or sexist.

No way I could have survived in a Corps with women in close proximity.

“Three dozen women have attempted to complete the course, and all but one have failed. About 25 percent of all trainees do not complete the course.”

Congratulations to that Marine! I wonder if a 1/36th pass-rate points to a problem? Is it really an efficient use of resources to train/test 36 applicants to get 1 that will pass. Maybe if you’re training SEALs or ParaRescue Airmen, but infantry officers?

All of the officers in the chain of command who approved of putting this woman in an infantry position should be court martialed for giving aid and comfort to the enemy.

The thought of practicality continues to plague me on this subject. If you need to pee in the field with all your gear on,isn’t it easier to whip it out than having to squat? And wouldn’t slinging a purse under your arm get in the way of your rifle?
