First woman to join infantry regiment ...quits (UK) (truncated))
Daily Mail ^ | 5-26-18 | Mark Nicol

Posted on 05/28/2018 6:06:11 AM PDT by dynachrome

The first woman to join an infantry regiment since defence chiefs lifted a ban on females serving in combat units has quit after just two weeks of training, The Mail on Sunday can reveal.

The recruit dropped out of an 18-week course this month after falling behind her male counterparts on endurance marches and failing other physical tests at a training base in Suffolk.

It is understood that when the woman resigned, she admitted having underestimated the physical requirements of being an infantry recruit. She also told officers that living in female-only accommodation made her feel ‘like an outsider’ and weakened her resolve. Her resignation is a huge blow to officials who are determined to integrate women into fighting units in the Army, Royal Marines and Royal Air Force.

...

Well, that’s just unfair. Why didn’t the officers just tell the male counterparts to slow down for her to catch up?

Exactly. What a bunch of bullies. They should have made those men slow down so she could catch up.

Even a female who meets the physical requirements will never be part of the brotherhood-bond that is essential to a combat unit working.

....
The precise reason why the leftists introduced this equality claptrap into the equation was to destroy the warrior culture.

“...... it is no shame for a lady to try and fail.”.....

While I agree with that point, getting her 15 minutes of fame MIGHT have come into play in this situation.

If a lady meets the requirements, then she deserves to be on the team.

No. She doesn't deserve a damn thing.

This isn't elementary school gym class. Men and women should not be commingled in combat arms jobs. If it doesn't further the mission it shouldn't happen. There is no need or reason for women to be in those positions.

These brilliant “officials” are not Bomber Harris or Montgomery of El Alemein.

They should not loosen the requirements. If a lady meets the requirements, then she deserves to be on the team. Most men (me included) can’t meet those requirements, so it is no shame for a lady to try and fail.

Actually, most men can meet the requirements if they are mentally tough. The only other requirement is to become physically tough. Of course, they also need to have a certain level of intelligence to finish the course. On the other hand, no woman has the physical toughness to hold up throughout the training; and if you are not physically tough, you can't be mentally tough.

“Full title: “First woman to join infantry regiment since defence chiefs lifted ban on females serving in combat units quits after two weeks admitting she underestimated the 18-week course”

Stick with a word processor and she’ll be fine.

True, but also *emotional*

(IMO) having a tougher (near impossible?) time being RUTHLESS when needed [nurturing instinct].

Tactics, logistics, analytics...’general’ warfare. I do wonder how the sexes differ here and how a switch up would be beneficial.

Though, too, We haven’t fought a war to WIN IT in many an age.

They want both-—elimination of rules and same barracks—to destroy virtue (excellence) formation in people/children particularly—to collapse Western Civilization. Even Aristotle knew that without virtue formation in children (only done by loving mother and father in early childhood), civil society can’t exist.

It is the move to androgyny and New Age religion-—to destroy in little children the understanding of male and female “roles” to destroy Western Civilization (the patriarchy). Hollywood is constantly forcing that narrative in little children with psy-ops. It is intentional/programming to destroy agency. They are pushing for the destruction of male and female instincts in little children, normalizing perversions (insanity) for the NWO and want the same “barracks” (like they are doing for bathrooms for little kids/ and forcing girls into the “boy”scouts) for NWO, which eventually will be test tube babies and absolutely no biological reproduction or special connection with biological parent (Communist Manifesto) so kids will never bond or have deep human loyalties—only be “bots” and superficial and controlled by “group think” by the State like a David Hogg.

The Natural Family can’t exist for their NWO of complete mind control, only communes/daycare “group think” which destroys the mapping of individuality/agency. Little and big overnight day cares for the kiddies will be norm and boarding schools with little boys and girls dressing alike and sleeping together with no difference in “dress” allowed. Instincts and mapping of the “mind” will be totally controlled by the authorities/elites playbook—always.

It is the future and the elites/Crowley Freemasons, will force it on us (like they are forcing it on our children in public skools right now with weaponized curricula where Evil is Good (like baby-killing, sodomy, and dressing like a girl if you are a boy.)

They need total control of children so every single idea, emotion can be scientifically controlled-—so that the Freemason/Kabbala/Hindu/Crowley New Age One World Religion is “normalized” with the Mother Earth Rites and baby-sacrificing and orgies for the He/She goat god by “kids”— Baphomet Rites. It is why they are poisoning our water and food with with estrogen mimickers which are making frogs “gay” and emasculating and sterilizing our children so normal reproduction will be impossible without the State.

If you haven’t noticed the CIA/Hollywood (pedophiles) push for destruction of gender identity in little children with their programming/DEd and “bathroom rules” and “best friend rules” and the total destruction and banning of Reality/Truth (God) for the last half century, for complete removal of identity which will create total irrationality (ideologues removal from Truth (God)/Reality)), you live in a cave.

It is all about forcing Baphomet “thinking” on us (no “thinking” allowed so Age of Reason can be erased in masses)) so they can create love and belief in Baphomet— androgyny (kabbala/Freemasonry/Lucifereanism). It will be the erasing of individuality and Jesus Christ (Western Civ) for mass conformity (no thinking, no indivdiuality/identity) and Caligula (pedophilia) type people who will kill and have orgies like Tiberius (and Caligula and Hugh Hefner) with five year olds and babies.

You have been living in a cave if you haven’t noticed the “pattern” since “oral sex” and “homosexuality” became a common word for all five year olds to destroy virtue formation and warp them for life and flip 2000 years of ethics. Innocence is essential in children so their emotions aren’t warped and virtue destroyed. When introduced into perversions as “good” and “natural”—when too young to understand anything emotionally, especially the Laws of Nature, it will distort their reality of self and nature and use of the body for life, so they will be irrational forever unless they have a great awakening. They will grow up with slave/serf mindsets of Tiberius’s day (with absolutely no common sense whatsoever since the Natural Family won’t exist)—incapable of reason and logic and being human.

We are living in a totally mind controlled matrix-—with google/twitter, etc. to have total control of everything we can see and hear (eventually)—and we better wake up or our children won’t even realize that they are total slaves of the State (the eight people who control the matrix). It will be too late for the totally programmed children by Alexa/computers/TV-—removed from humanity/Reality and every “idea” programmed by “bots” (the eight elites)—for a “mass group “think” universe—NWO with One World Religion (no ability to “think” differently from the program)—where every emotion is totally controlled by artificial means (the eight) and Evil is Good, Sodomy is a Virtue, and God is Dead (but Baphomet is erected in His place (but the elite eight will determine EVERYTHING—we do, we “think”, we “feel” (drugged)-—all artificial/irrational removed from Reality (Truth/God).

A DOD physical fitness study conducted following the 1991 Tailhook “scandal” concluded that given a sample of 100 males and 100 females, that the ten strongest women were only as strong as the ten weakest men.

There is also something known as unit cohesion. A chick totally ruins the social dynamics in an otherwise all Male group. We don’t need women in the military, especially in combat.

There are plenty of women throughout history who have knowingly used false allegations to destroy the lives of others. They don't often go in and stab someone in hand to hand fighting unless said person is sleeping or something but they will tend to use the power of the state to do their dirty work for them. Not to mention the backstabbing "mean girls" sorts of things where they pick another girl and make her miserable to the point of hopelessness.

My point being that just because women aren't likely to use physical force ruthlessly, there are plenty that are very cold and cruel indeed. Ponder the idea of a President Hillary Clinton and you'll see my point.

Also please note that I am responding to your generalization that women are kinder and less ruthless which I think is generally true. My comment is for a subset of women only, not a general trait by any stretch.
