The U.S. Army announced Monday that it will use keep the events on the third version of the Army Combat Fitness Test (ACFT 3.0) gender-neutral, but male and female soldiers will be evaluated on separate gender-specific percentile tiers, amid concerns female soldiers are scoring lower and disproportionately failing the test compared to their male counterparts

Kids on the playground have an equal but different response than the military. The kids say heads I win and tails you lose applies to the females military personnel.

Instead Of Traditional Warfare, Chinese Military Will Now Be Trained To Shout Wrong Pronouns At American Troops!:

BEIJING—The Chinese military has announced that they will no longer be investing in weapons, tanks, aircraft, or traditional warfare training techniques.

Instead, the People’s Liberation Army will simply be trained to shout the wrong pronouns at U.S. soldiers, who will collapse and shake uncontrollably at the advanced maneuver.

“Brave soldiers of the People’s Liberation Army, prepare to launch a pronoun assault!” cried one platoon leader in a training exercise. “Go!”

The Chinese soldiers then began shouting “He/Him!” and “She/Her!” at American soldiers, whom Biden had loaned to the Chinese government for the practice session. They immediately collapsed to the floor. “No!!! I’m a xe/xer; it says so right on my dog tags!” cried one weeping American soldier huddled in the corner in the fetal position, rocking back and forth. “You can’t call me the wrong pronoun — it’s literally violence! It’s against the Geneva Convention!”

“President Biden will be hearing about this!” he shouted as he ran away.

“See? That’s all we need to do to defeat the puny American soldiers,” said the sergeant. “We don’t even need to fire a shot. We just need to say the mean words they don’t like.”

A recent computer simulation predicted that using this tactic, the Chinese military would defeat America in approximately seven minutes.

Civilized nations do not send their women into combat on the battlefields. Civilized nations do not murder innocent babies in their mother’s wombs. Civilized nations do not recognize transsexualism, but do diagnose it as a mental disorder in need of help. Civilized nations do not recognize same sex marriage.

So females in the army fail physical tests disproportionately for males. I hope we didn’t pay any money for a study to determine this. Changing the requirements by sex will certainly not help the readiness of the military. Maybe this is why they are allowing transgenders and so they can get so-called females with male DNA to do better on these tests. We in the USA are in a world of trouble

While not perfect, the APFT used during my years was, I thought, a perfectly adequate gauge of upper body, abdominal and cardio-vascular strength.

It consisted simply of two minutes of push ups, two minutes of sit ups and a two mile run. The push ups and sit ups were required to be performed to very specific standards and were scored by simple # of repetitions. The run was scored simply by time.

One's score was a maximum of 100 points in each event with a minimum passing score of 60, with score tables calculated by age group and....sex.

It required no special apparatus apart from a pencil, a score card and a two mile track. This new test (from what I've read of it) needs all kinds of special equipment just to administer.

disproportionately failing the test compared to their male counterparts

Which proves that males and females are not counterparts and are not interchangeable. They cannot do the same jobs with the same level of achievement. The "proportions" are exactly what they are. The whole idea of finding disproportion assumes there is a difference between two things that are otherwise the same. It's an admission against interest.

Our nation is well beyond it’s sanity....God is not happy and will sooner or later show us.

Interesting that whenever the nation of Israel turned it’s back on God a neighboring army invaded....rather like on our border now.
