Snip:
A Marine study showed for every man who fails a simulated artillery lift-and-carry test, 28 women fail. And for a test simulating moving over a seven-foot high wall, less than 1.2 percent of the men could not get over, compared to 21.32 percent of women.
The results were found in Marine Corps documentation by the Center for Military Readiness, which earlier issued a report called “U.S. Marine Corps Research Findings: Where is the Case for Co-Ed Ground Combat?”
A separate report from Israel National News reported a book, “Lochamot Betzahal,” confirmed the results of 13 years of research on female participation in IDF combat units and declared the feminist experiment in the Israeli military a failure.
I have never served in the military.
The decision to put women in the “front lines” is abysmally stupid.
What we need to do is highlight these things and then start rumors that a draft is returning. This draft will include women and there will be no college deferments this time.

The Israel Defense Forces has had some success with their Caracal Battalion which is 70% women.
Yes and I want these 18 year old girlies to register for the draft!!
I can see all the middle east’s rapist being told to join the enemy army for a chance to capture and rape our women.
First we should try unisex Olympic tryouts - no more separate slots for men and women, just the best performers.
If we still need to shoehorn women into frontline combat, lets find a way to remove sex complications, (like gender unassignment surgery) to remove the potential for broken marriages, favoritism from fratenization, and all the other sloppy sexual relationship and competition issues arising from mixed gender sleepovers for months at a time.
From what I understand, the IDF women serve in support roles, not in front lines.
I spent 20yrs in the Army, 7yrs in 2nd Ranger Bn and the rest in Special Forces. I was a 6’3, 215lb guy and the job kicked my a$$. Women don’t belong period. The intel side of SF, sure. The meat eating, we are going out to break things and kill people...no way, no day.
The doings of the enemy islamist CIC.
It figures.
The interpersonal situations would corrode morale, break up unit cohesion, and change some individual's focus from the mission/survival to protecting their partner above all else.
Combat is tough enough already without adding stupid and unnatural social experiments.
Insanity on the march.
Almost never brought up is that all all of these failures during evaluation/training cost allot of money and resources. At a basic level it’s not likely a male will ever see his first base after failing training and reevaluations. Not so with women as the commands are directed to pass a certain number of women, ready or not.
I like Rush’s idea.
Get a bunch of feminists all with PMS to attack, the enemy will surrender in droves.
