Later in the article Tucker Carlson is mentioned regarding his recent criticism of the Army's priorities, ie. women's maternity flight suits.

The purpose of the US military used to be to kill people and break things.
Now the People’s Liberation Army has a monopoly on doing that.

...and the hypocrisy is exposed. Either they're fit or they're not, regardless of gender. If the goose wants to play gander, it needs to be as fit.
I understand the need to have female operatives who can blend in to get HUMINT but any position requiring physical fitness needs to have the same requirement for all.

Well of course. Men and women...newsflash!...are different.
That’s why tranny men do so well in women’s sports. They’re men, no matter what they do to themselves, and therefore they’re stronger and in fact have an entirely different build, which gives them an advantage.
Archaeologists and forensic specialists can differentiate between men and women by the skeletons, particularly the pelvis, but also other joints, such as the elbow joint (which is why many girls can’t throw).

We had gender-specific physical readiness testing in the 90s when I retired. Going back to that would be fine with me, because:
The average male can break the average female in half. The average very fit male can break the average very fit female in half. To suggest otherwise is to deny science, mock biology, and create real danger to women and girls.

"... 54 percent female soldiers failing the gender-neutral standard, as compared to 10 percent of male soldiers, according to Army data shared with the Washington Post last fall. Female soldiers were also scoring 100 points lower on the test, on average, than their male counterparts." Yeah!
However, let's see those male soldiers carry & have a baby... Snicker...

Are the transgender “females” going to be held to the same standards of “fitness” as is being established for the biological females, or is this a snarky question?

I got in so much trouble in 1993 when I told a female E-7 that the only way she got selected is due to the difference in PT scores. If she had been judged equally with the men, she wouldn’t have made E-6, much less E-7.

Unless I’m reading this wrong, it looks to me that the Army is reconsidering their lessor physical standards for women. That’s good news if so.
