But like in 1950, it might be an enemy that does not care about losing thousands of troops per day for as long as it takes to prevail, since they have 50 million “excess” males anyway, and their masters would like to cull that number down.”
It is my understanding that your hypothetical enemy is long fighting men and our side is short qualified Troopers, correct?
You are also indicate that our perfumed Princes are mucking up the Military for political reasons, by lowering the standards so social engineering can take place.
I agree with you. The high elite standards should remain the same for all candidates. They cannot and should not be "dumbed" down. If the target PC Troopers fail the qualifications, they fail. I don't understand why failing is such a bad thing. We need the best qualified Trooper for the mission. We do not need the best PC Trooper for the mission. Why is it so difficult for our Perfumed Princes to argue this and stand their ground? They shouldn't back down.
But you also support my position that we should maximize the talent pool as long as the elite standards remain the same or get tougher and politics do not muck up the eligibility process.
Do you understand why the military and the rest of life has a male standard, and a female standard?
You are close to 60 years of age, female, and were never in the military, and you are old enough to remember what happened to our police departments when they had to reduce standards to allow women.
Your identity politics, game playing means soldiers deaths, and the possible end of the United States.
You keep saying that, ‘well, if we don’t change standards’, this is 2012, not 1970, that is recognized as totally ridiculous, if standards wouldn’t change we wouldn’t be having this conversation. The Rangers would have been of mixed sex many centuries ago if that were the case.
That's a policy problem, not a demographic problem.
The guys who complete Ranger school are probably in the top 0.1% of the male population in endurance and the top 1% in strength.
The number of women who can meet those (male) standards is effectively zero.
