The politically correct Army PR machine churns out all sorts of releases about women doing everything the men do only better. But the PT standards are never mentioned and there are DRASTIC differences in those.

So according to those unmentioned standards the female soldiers will arrive minutes later than men even thought they are carrying less weight and will have decisively less upper body strength to handle the mission.

“And those standards will be lowered.”

Exactly.

When the desired stats are not met, standards will be lowered accordingly until they are.

(By the way, I know some very remarkable women who’d easily meet any existing standards...but it’s quotas “they” will be looking for...not qualifications.)

After all, look at the joke of a dork we have for president.

That is exactly what has happened over the last 50 years in every case involving the qualifications of government protected classes.

Just yesterday on FOX News there was a report that the Washington DC school district is going to eliminate subjects like Civics and Social Studies for high school students because the little darlings just don't seem to be able to get passing grades.

The Marines selected two females last year to go through their Infantry Officers Course at Quanico.
These were not hand picked daises, there met all the standards.
Both Failed/Dropped the course.
One wrote an article for Marine Corps Times publication.
Titled “ Get over it , We are not all Equal”.
She related how she suffered more leg cramping,Stress Fractures,loss of leg control,(Knees buckling) dizziness, loss of muscle tissue,and body weight at a faster rate than her male Marines

There is one and only one reason to make changes to the tip of the spear is to add to it's effectiveness. A force multiplier for instance.
This change is about one thing, female promotion possibilities.

This is gonna get people killed, either by guys trying to protect the females, or the lack of abilities on the part of females. Israel found this out the hard way

I know first hand, my son is a infantry platoon leader. It's bad enough that he has female engagement team (FET)attached to his unit.
They don't co-habitate, but live at brigade HQ.They get driven up in a Humvee,prior to the patrol

They try to keep up, but never the less slow his troops down.
He tells me he is afraid of what will happen if they get in to a real s$it slinging firefight.

Right, lower standards for all, just to make it “fair”.
Obama’s process of reducing the U.S. to minor status is proceeding as planned.
