Sum it up: some women want to join the infantry but can't make the current standard. They are unable to meet the standard men do. So they want a special standard for them. The military says no (for now) because that will endanger everyone involved when their on the field.

Looks like they might have to resort to genetic engineering to obtain qualified female combat personnel.

The onky thing that should matter is if the SHTF and their post is overrun, then they can pick up a weapon and point it in the direction of the enemy and return fire.

The only effort that fails are the efforts of the women trying to meet the standard.

It was long well known, that the DACOWITS Witches and women LIBERS were wrong, but they wouldn’t listen.

I think that we all knew that the bar would be lowered.

Since there is still no “diversity”, they will create it.

I don’t think they actually want these tough military jobs. These ticket punching careerists just want Ranger tabs and such for their resumes, IMO.

The only way a “female” will succeed in this area is as a cross dresser,er....transgendered woman. How long before the social leftists at the Pentagon lower the standards???

I’m an old lady and my generation KNEW that men were physically stronger than women-——and we liked it that way.

Men protect,women nurture.

Besides, they should be home creating families.

The only good thing about this is that when they sic the military on the American people, they won’t be as combat capable.

Is it a right to serve, or a privilege to serve?

If the later, then there should be no impetus to reduce the needed qualifications, be it for man, woman or any of the other sixty-some gender varieties.

Won’t we need extra troops for the fight in Kirkuk and Mosul?

On average an “in shape” woman in here late teens early twenties is about as strong as a 14 year old boy.

Wait. So you’re saying liberal ideas dreamed up with marajuana in a freshman dorm in a coastal state don’t actually work in real life?

Their initial argument was they did not want the existing standards lowered.

Now that no woman can still pass the standards, of,course now they question the standards, bitch about the standards, and want the standards lowered.

Who could have forseen this? I see it all the time.

We want equal treatment. When they get equal treatment they do not like equal treatment, and they cry for special treatment. All the benefits and none of the crap. All the rewards and none of the responsibility. Unearned accolades and honors.

In WWII Russian women fought alongside men, but they were generally segregated. (the Reds knew the difference, huh?) It wasn't all by choice, either. Standards (what ever branch) should not be lowered. I am sure a lot of women can perform many duties. I am old now, but even "fit" I had trouble maintaining my composure lugging (running) 30-50 pounds of ammo and weapons very far.

Wouldn’t a woman’s menstrual cycle be a problem in the field?
