Yes all marines are riflemen. That doesn’t mean that you have to deploy women in infantry units.

I've trained newly-commissioned Lt's at Quantico, and we put women through the same training the men got. Most of them were gamers and did the best they could.

But their overall tactical performance in the field was noticeably worse, and they could not keep up on conditioning hikes. And that's when compared to the average male Marine, not to grunts.

The Commandant was absolutely right on keeping women out of those MOS's. Too bad most of our politicians lacked the cojones to back him up.
