All-male ground combat squads proved faster, stronger and more lethal in most cases than units that included women, concludes a Marine Corps study that evaluated the impact of integrating women into all jobs.

The women also suffered higher injury rates during physically demanding training, according to a summary of the study released Thursday.

The Marine Corps faces a deadline the Pentagon has set for requiring military branches to open all specialties to women, including infantry and special operations forces, beginning next year.

More political correctness from the Obama Administration.

This will weaken the military and put our servicemen in danger.

We need to try this with the NFL. Require one team to field an all female team. Require another to field a team that is roughly 50:50. See what happens.

“Marine study finds all-male infantry units outperformed teams with women”

What does that have to do with anything? That’s not how fighting forces are to be judged. It’s whether they reflect the makeup of the general population. Same for their officers.

10,000 Syrian men, of which 7,000 are military-aged

Iran has nuclear weapons

Boner and No Chin fail in the Senate.

What a great day for Conservatives and America!

SEXIST! 0dungo will order them to alter the study to change the outcome, just like he does with stats on ISIS in order to cover for their expansion of the Caliphate.

Excellent idea.

The to 25% of females were about equal to the bottom 25% of males. Better than I thought.

Probability not for more than a few hard weeks though.

Obviously discrimination. Everybody knows there is no difference between men and women.
