If anything, the Marines Corps study was generous.

They spent a year and $30 million on it. Of course Mabus the cuck disregarded it anyhow.

There is absolutely no "equality" around today that is about being equal. It's about receiving special rights and privileges.

A male marine has to do 20 dead hang pull ups to max out on the pft. A female only has to do...7. #Equality

Mackenzie Bezos = 40 Billion from divorce

I'd hit it.

If it didn't work out, she could have half of my $3.50

The breakdown in unit cohesion is the even bigger problem.

Discipline collapses.

And a third of the unit is out for medical reasons at any one time.


I get it, I think there's part you are missing though.

This incrementalism is going to keep increasing unless you come up with a better idea than just saying "no". You either have to channel it into a less destructive direction or you will continue to get slowly eaten alive from the inside.

Give them a path but do not lessen the requirements (and have brass willing to stick to those requirements) and frame it as "competing on a man's level, if you can". I believe this would go much further in defusing the incrementalism than just simple resistance.

This actually happened during my basic at Ft. Leonard Wood.
Male and female in my squad were caught fricking and Drill made a complete show of it.

Had us standing outside on the pad in front of the barracks, we could hear him ripping them a new one. He has them run outside to the back of our formation.

"Company, Attention!!! About Face!!! Charlie Company, wave bye bye!!!"

We all waved bye to the two of them. Girl starts bawling, old boy took it well. Never knew what happened to them.

But you are right, after two months, I wanted to frick anything with legs, and we had some she dogs in our unit that started looking real good

You are right bud. This crap doesn’t work in real life. It’s not the same as men and women working together professionally in a conference room setting. I was on active duty during the first gulf war, and there is no avoiding the SEX and DRAMA and fallouts that you get from sticking young women in combat environments with young men. I personally saw relationships go south, and careers end abruptly. One girl ended my friends career when he broke up with her. She got pissed and claimed he sexually harassed her, when we all knew they were slipping around every corner to bang like wild animals.

There’s so much wrong with this that it’s insane. Saying “no” to their repeated idiocy is the only acceptable answer.

Our military is vastly weaker as a fighting force with women involved in any capacity and in combat arms especially.

Which means your "only acceptable answer" isn't working.

So your answer would be to further allow them access?

You said in a previous post that the higher ups would have to stay strict to the standards set. When have they proved to do that?

No is the only acceptable answer to women in the military and always will be. Just because some fricking bleeding heart idiots in DC kept pissing and moaning about the inequality of it so much that the weak generals relented and allowed them in doesn’t mean that no isn’t the right answer.

The only acceptable answer that would ever work is no. We have political pawns and politically motivated hacks and not leaders in control of the military today. Otherwise, they’d say frick no to this type of thing.

In the end, nothing. They try and prove themselves right, and end up proving the logical folks right. The backlash if they attempted to lower standards to boost pass rates would be too great.

My answer would be to channel their access through the same requirements the men have to meet but in separate groups. No special considerations given, they either make it or they do not. At the end of something like a 5-year period you tally the results and then present them as a metric of overall benefit/detriment having women is to the military overall.

That's really the big problem. The only real solution I can see for that is an EO mandating various requirements and that they are not subject to change. The problem there is one EO can overrule a previous one so the moment we get another Bill or Barry in office, that could go right back out the window.

What I do know is that the mindset you're fighting against will fight harder when they are told "no" than they will if they are told "okay, but it's going to be really difficult".

Why do you tell your children no? Because it’s for their own good, right? And you don’t relent on that stance.

It’s the same thing with these children, you tell them no and keep that stance no matter how much they gnash their teeth and throw a tantrum. You’re the expert, not them.
