It is well established that enemy snipers target smaller figures, anticipating they’re women, and knowing that other targets will rush to her aid.
“At the time, we were assured that female recruits would have to meet the same physical standards as their male counterparts.”
I remember the very first words out of their mouths were “standards will not be lowered.”
When I heard that I knew plans were in place to lower standards.
The military seems to have concluded that the next war will be won in a UAV command center in Nevada and all the other stuff is window dressing to keep the tax dollars flowing. Maybe they are right...
We’re done.
The biggest thing I noticed was not that most of the females would quit both physically and mentally before most of the men, but that when it happened, the best of the men get all chivalrous about it rendering the unit down not 1-2 Marines, but 3-4. These were always the best of the men, incapacitated at the sight of a crying/hurt/panicking/whining female. Heroes neutered.
"Women in Combat-A Question of Standards" by Jude Eden
Jude Eden was a female Marine who just lays out the truth. (I think the article was from 2015 and discusses charges by a female Marine 1st Lt. Sage Santangello in the Washington Post who alleged women are discouraged from meeting the physical standards...which Jude Eden debunks thoroughly.)
The main reason why women traditionally were not soldiers is that women carry babies and become mothers. Motherhood occupies a woman’s time full time for years!
Women are not optimized for battle.
The military is run by a$$holes for lowering the standards to please feminazis.
And that assumes we win. We're definitely degrading the combat effectiveness of these units.
As a woman, I completely agree. Our male soldiers do not need to be distracted on the battlefield. Female soldiers do that, no question.

Delusion, published just months ago. Just finished reading it. Highly recommended.
Men make war. Women make warriors.
It’s bad enough that young men die in war.
Killing women is killing the future.
The purpose is the destruction of the military not the promotion of women’s rights. Our enemies laugh at us for our stupidity.
The dumbest decision foisted on the US Army in my lifetime is the dissolution of the Women’s Army Corps.
One award for the best men in both categories, one award for the best women. And the best woman's scores were less.
At the time I didn't need any more to convince me that women are inferior to men in strength and endurance, but that was certainly eyewitness proof. If women were as good as, there would be no need for a special category.

I agree wholeheartedly. Women do not belong in combat. They can serve in other ways.
Me too....crept the enemy don’t play that way.
