Just don’t lower the standards and then say
male and females are equals.

Some animals are more equal than others, comrade.

However, if the powers that be weren’t doing this for political points, or some agenda, the sensible thing to do would be to take an experimental company of women who feel they can do the job and build them up to see if it would work. 180 days should’ve been given to ensure female combat arms recruits could meet the male fitness requirements, prior to actually going to the selected training. This six months would also be to gauge the determination of the individual recruit, make sure that they’re not just a bunch of Rambo’s In Name Only. That’s how I’d approach it though.

But they already have. P.T. scores between men and women are different. They were different when I inducted at Ft. Benning in 1988. By different I mean that a female age 19, can do 50 pushups and pass with a high score. A male, 19, doing 50 pushups is a fail if my memory serves me correctly. But you get the point in any case.

Yes back then women demanded to be treated equally. Scratch that. Women wanted set asides and affirmative action and lowered physical standards. Women wanted to be excused from physical training when they had heavy periods. Damn, I just had to get up and do it.

Now I knew some women that could shoot. But I knew fewer that would hump a pack all day.

But that’s what the PC crowd/tyrants do best.

...Which is exactly what they're doing, without admitting it. It's all about pleasing pressure groups now.

They already have separate standards and most obvious, women don't have to sign up for the draft.

You are way ahead of the curve as what you fear is what is going to happen. The next war will be won by that army without women combat soldiers.
