    The standard should NOT be lowered. If women want to be considered then they should have to meet the requirements. The requirements were set for a reason. I've never understood this dire need to be a man or play with men outside of the bedroom. I'm not interested in running as fast, or lifting as much, or pissing as far. There are plenty of things I can do that a man can't do. Don't misunderstand my point. I still feel that women should have the right to try and that they should be afforded the same opportunities but then it's up to them to meet that standard.

    I used to think that way. "If they can meet the standard without lowering it..."

    But training costs alone are not worth it. Especially the wash out rate.

    But more importantly is the actual result of one that actually makes it. It comes at the cost of unit cohesion. And the litany of sexual harassment suits.

    Not surprising. Everyone knows women are generally smaller and weaker than men. Quite cunning, but cunning doesn't help when doing pullups.

    And if truth be told four out of ten Americans males would fail also.


    "A riddle, Madam Chairman. When is government spending not government spending? And on the other hand, when does government spending which, according to the conservatives, destroys jobs, in fact create jobs? The answer is when it's for weapons. We have, on the other side, a form of weaponized Keynesianism. When it comes to spending money to build roads or improve medical infrastructure or do other things that are enhancing the quality of life, they tell us that government spending doesn't create a job. But when we are talking about continuing to produce weapons that have the admirable purpose of defeating the Soviet Union in the Cold War, and we're still producing the weapons, then somehow we have to keep them going because of its job creation capacity.... I am amazed that people can lament spending and forget the elephant in the room. And when the elephant forgets the elephant in the room, I suppose it's even more surprising, because it is massive military spending now and for the future that is the problem.... The budget that my friends on the other side would like commits us to spending billions of dollars to defend Prague against Iran. I'd rather protect old people against poverty."

    Pay attention. 75% of US teens are too fat to even give it a shot.

    If the hard left gets their wish to lower standards it will destroy military readiness.

    Sometimes I think that is their design.
