Women marines
http://www.gruntreport.com/u-s-marine-corps-might-lower-combat-standards-for-women/

Again, the government hasnt done this, but now groups are lobbying for lowering standards for equality purposes.

Thoughts? (I am against it)

If three can do it then the rest should be able to do it.
And if the young lady in the pics was one that did it, as petite as she is, then the lobbiests can go Fornicate themselves.

How many members of these lobbyist groups have served in the military, let alone in infantry billets?

Yeah I didn't think so...

Sure they're entitled to their opinion, but when they start demanding the military change something they have no idea about, they sound stupid.

Lower Standards means less abled soldiers and that is bad for everyone especially those who just get by. They will be painfully out matched and that will hurt them in the long run.

Are the Rigors of Combat going to be lowered? Are the Loads that Infantry troopers expected to carry going to decrease? Are the bad guys going to make it easier on the women Soldiers?

This is what you get when the Video Game players that have never had to "Ruck Up and move to Daylight" try to make policy.

The big thing that everyone on the Rally Point that is in favor of women in the Infantry says is IF THEY CAN HACK IT...well, IF they have to lower the standards, Obviously they can not hack it.

...although I do remember thinking many times that I wish my ruck weighed less, maybe the lobbyists are former infantry?! Okay, nevermind

Nah, they need to make it at the same standard as men, if they can make it great, but even some men fallout of the standard, but it should all be the same.

It looks like they've already dropped the uniform standard for this one. She'll make a good officer. **facepalm**.

So if the standards are lowered and the female troops can't keep up with their male counterparts on a mission, let's say on a forward recon. Does that not put all the troops on the patrol in danger?

That to me put the squad two troops down or possibly three. The female that doesn't have to maintain the equal standard of herald counterparts, as well as the one or two other troops that have to carry her and her gear.

I think not!
