This is purely for tranny men. Fit women fail this. Fat women will never make it.

It will make me feel more safe if I can be assured that the US Marines look more like my local DMV.

....if there are no standards for President,ALL other standards are loward. Expect more from the mooslum controlled government. PURPOSELY!

[llevrok]

what bothers me most is that there is no one in military leadership who is saying “cut this sh^t out!!!”

All who are left seem to be rubber stamping the social engineering of the liberals.

The weights mentioned in the article simply don’t seem that out of line. I would certainly hesitate to call them fat as is done here. These are not supposed to be tiny girls and the BMI is certain to be decent for anyone that can complete the tests mentioned.

Let the elite forces represent the country and pretend to defend it.

“Female Marines will be allowed to weigh five to seven pounds more than before for each inch of their height, according to new guidelines published by the service. A 5-foot-6 woman, for example, was previously allowed to weigh up to 155 pounds, but can now be 161. A 5-foot-9 woman was allowed to be up to 169 pounds, but can now be 176.”

So the weight allowances changed, but did the body fat allowance? There's no mention of it. Only a complete idiot would assume that more weight automatically means more fat.

In place of fixed-arm hanging women, and men, will have the option to choose push-ups instead.

What’s next, perhaps an option not to show up for the test at all?

Oh, for God's sake, I hope the author had his fainting couch nearby. Are pull-ups a better indicator of upper body strength than push-ups? Yes. However, doing any reasonable number of push-ups is tougher than doing a flex-arm hang. Then he whines with his "not showing up" strawman.

People like this author make a tough-to-sell concept in today's "All Equal, All The Time" America like "women don't belong in combat units" by screeching like little bitches.
