You are bringing a young girls naive, (but chipper) attitude to what is a very serious situation.
The reality is that females being present has weakened every thing they have been allowed into in the army.
Jump school is nothing like what it used to be according to the young guys attending it since females showed up.
Females could not pass Basic training, or Jump School, so they had to change what passing consisted of.
The same thing happened to civilian Police and Fireman in the 1970s and 1980s, you are probably too young to remember how one by one each city, each department, each state’s Highway patrol, and on and on had to lower their standards until females could pass.
Hello ansell2: “Weak Link: The Feminization of the American Military” by Brian Mitchell documents your points very well.
The Center for Military Readiness is an excellent organization that presents facts examining the issue of females in combat: http://cmrlink.org/WomenInCombat.asp.
Hello Chgogal: Maintaining the same physical standards is not the only issue regarding females in combat: see Post 271.
