They should not loosen the requirements. If a lady meets the requirements, then she deserves to be on the team. Most men (me included) can’t meet those requirements, so it is no shame for a lady to try and fail.
That aspect is equally important to the physical standard (and it has already been shown women cannot meet it unless the system is rigged for them a la mommy ranger or standards are dropped), and no matter what PC leadership say or do, they cannot change it.
I was being a bit sarcastic. Heck, lets loosen the requirements enough that a wheelchair person can be in combat roles.
“...... it is no shame for a lady to try and fail.”.....
While I agree with that point, getting her 15 minutes of fame MIGHT have come into play in this situation.
No. She doesn't deserve a damn thing.
This isn't elementary school gym class. Men and women should not be commingled in combat arms jobs. If it doesn't further the mission it shouldn't happen. There is no need or reason for women to be in those positions.
Actually, most men can meet the requirements if they are mentally tough. The only other requirement is to become physically tough. Of course, they also need to have a certain level of intelligence to finish the course. On the other hand, no woman has the physical toughness to hold up throughout the training; and if you are not physically tough, you can't be mentally tough.
You need testosterone replacement therapy.
Your “White knighting” is making me ill.
