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...

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.

Good!

I considered the ACFT test a backdoor way of keeping women out of the Army, since the Army was pressured into opening combat arms fields (and even special forces) to women.

I never personally took the test, and am glad I did not have to do so. Due to medical reasons, I did not take the last two APFT tests before I retired. The last test included a trial ACFT test to see how our unit would perform, thank goodness I did not have to do that!

A young, very fit Soldier complained to me that although she always got maximum score on the APFT, she had absolutely no hope of getting maximum score on the ACFT. The maximum requires dead lifting 340 pounds—out of range of the vast majority of women.

The APFT test takes into account both gender and age. The ACFT is one size fits all.

There really is no reason that women in support MOSs should have to pass the same physical fitness standards as men in combat MOSs. The physical requirements to perform the job are completely different.

And no, the fact that most women fail the ACFT does not demonstrate that women have no place in the military. We do have a place, just not in the combat fields. Women are perfectly capable of fulfilling support roles.

How many transgenders pass the test? Isn’t that the question we should all be asking? There should be a special test for those that decide to cut off their penis for $200,000 at taxpayer expense. It makes no sense whatsoever to invest 200k in a dickless solider only for she/him/it to not be able to pass a simple test.

Maybe they could apply at Antifa since they appear to be a branch.

“The U.S. Army is considering reversing its plans to set a gender-neutral fitness standard . . .”

It was during the Obama regime when it was announced women would be in infantry combat units. BUT it was said fitness standards would not be lowered for women.

At that moment I realized they planned to lower the fitness standards.

So on test day just identify as female and take the easy test.
