    This whole thing is a giant PR fluff piece. What soldier would get praised for using their rifle like a cane or having it pointed at their own face because they're too tired. This is all just PR for the public's eyes because "inclusion". Thankfully this is happening more in support roles but this mantra has been extended to combat roles in some cases and that's cringe.

    As a veteran, this makes me just SMH. When women were first admitted into the military, way back whenever, the physical fitness standards were the same for everyone. However, fairly quickly, women were failing the PT tests en masse, so the standards were lowered. Don't believe me? Look up the new Army standards for men and the standards for women in the same age group. They are substantially lower. But, hey, women are just as strong or stronger, right?

Not a life threatening job of course but we were told we were gonna get some recognition for our hard work by the end so it motivated us to work harder. At the end. you know who got recognition? The two female marines for "fileing insurmountable amounts of paper work on behalf of the Commisioning Officer blah blah blah". It stung watching the two bimbos who were cooped up in a building with AC, sitting in chairs all day, (who also got weekend leave) and was allowed to leave to get food, get rewarded.

    As a middle-aged woman and feminist, I have always believed feminism means making opportunities available for everyone. It doesn't mean lowering standards. So, women have the opportunity to become Navy SEALs, but that doesn't mean we drop the standards if they can't cut it. Those standards exist for a reason. When did opportunities become guarantees?

    Thank you for the insight and for keeping it real as always. My thoughts as a US Army Vet (42A Human Resources). I was a paratrooper my whole career so the physical standards were a little higher than most units (not SF or Ranger level; but, it was intense at times). I've had male 1st sergeants who were just the laziest, unmotivated POS and I've had some leadership that could run marathons in their sleep but were dumb as a rock. I've been around some women who were she-hulks and some who would literally come to PT with fake nails on....
    long story short, most soldiers go their whole service without deploying and even a lot of soldiers who deploy don't actually see real combat. The reality is that many "successful" soldiers are successful because they get high scores on their PT test or they suck their way through promotions. Most grunts who have gone through some real shit typically get out after a few deployments because it will take a toll. Very rare you find an actual badass who is in leadership that cares about their troops male or female. The military is the biggest dog & pony show on the planet.

    True story: I was a US Army 68W, Health Care Specialist i.e. a combat medic. I was in what was called an Area Support Medical Company, a unit which would lend medics to other units during training when they didn't have their own. I was assigned to assist a particular unit, and there was this female soldier who came in complaining of horrible abdominal pain. She came in with a "battle buddy"(what we call a fellow soldier who accompanies a casualty), and we moved her to our field hospital, so we could do a quick medical examination and history on her before moving her to a hospital proper.
    While doing her medical history, her battle buddy told me that she would have those pains twice a month, like clockwork, which raised MASSIVE red flags. My first thought was that she might have endometriosis, which is a pretty common issue with women's menstruation that causes immense pain during their periods, but being told it happened twice a month made me suspect it might straight-up be malingering, the term we have for faking an illness to get out of work. I asked her when her periods would/ drop, and she confirmed she'd have them TWICE a month. I asked her then if she had gone to a gynecologist to get checked, cause that shit wasn't normal, and she said, and I quote, "I ain't letting anyone check up my pussy but my man, nigga, get the fuck out of here with that gynecologist shit."
    (she was Puertorican like me, but from New York, while I'm island-born, hence her using the n-word like that)
    I then told her that's no excuse, that she needs to get checked because it's a problem that's affecting her ability to work and she can't keep missing training like that, and she goes "I ain't doing shit, you ain't my commander, and if you keep hasslin' me, I'll report you for sexual discrimination."
    Now see, in the Army, in certain MOS's (Military Occupational Specialties, i.e. Army jobs), there's a concept called "billet over rank." What that refers to is that there's certain jobs in the service which are so essential that the job makes you UNTOUCHABLE within your area of expertise. Basically, absolutely no one can refuse an order from you as long as it's within the scope of your job, not even if they outrank you. The only people who can are soldiers of a higher rank who have the same job as you, and if they do, then they take over your job, cause the logic is that they know better than you and are taking charge for the good of the mission.
    NO FUCKING JOBS in the US Army are as FUCKING MUCH billet over rank as MEDICAL.
    I then pull out my notebook and a pen, and I show them to her and tell her this:
    "You see this? This is your worst nightmare right now. Cause guess what: you signed a contract to join the US Army, and the moment you did, your body doesn't belong to you, it belongs to good ol' Uncle Sam. You have two choices. Choice 1 is you go to a gynecologist and get checked, get that treated properly and go on your merry way. Choice 2 is that I write you up as disrespecting and refusing orders from medical personnel, choosing to ignore an illness that is affecting your capacity to operate in military manner, and recommending dismissal from the Army for dereliction of duty. And trust me, I'm acting in my capacity as medical personnel, you can accuse me of sexual discrimination til your face turns blue and it won't fucking stick. So either shut the fuck up and do what I told you to or get the fuck out and face the consequences."
    Well, that girl decided to fuck around and find out, and holy shit, did THAT ever go badly for her. I ended up writing exactly what I said I would, then I went to her commander and gave him the write-up. About three months later, I was once again assigned to assist the same unit, and lo and behold, the commander gave her the ultimatum of her going to the gynecologist for medical treatment and she refused, so she was given a General Discharge and kicked the fuck out of the unit. Well, a General Discharge is a less-than Honorable Discharge, i.e. given for bad behavior and refusal to correct it, so she lost her enlistment bonus and all the Army scholarships she had qualified for.
    So yeah, don't try to pull the sexism card on a medic when you're in the wrong.

Your PFT score would factor into everything in the military, including promotion, so why would it not be equal? Sadly, most branches of service are not requiring women to perform at the male level but are instead reducing the standard so that everyone can meet the bar because the double standard from before was "sexist". It only serves to weaken or military, is it any surprise that the political class pushing for that is in the pockets of China?

The only women I ever saw were usually in the comfy office jobs or the rare female green side corpsman (medic). I had a few friends that were MP's and mechanics.

People can be mad all they want, but the military isn’t an area of inclusion…..literally the opposite. I feel the same about uniformity….waivers galore these days. I would argue that by lowering the standards for females that it actually makes things significantly difficult for us to be accepted and to be treated equally because we did not come in under those pretenses in the first place. Therefore it takes away. It harbors hostilities. For those of us females that can get those scores; people are always going to assume that we got the lesser score. It didn’t matter that I personally made sure I was getting my male counterpart scores…. Because at the end of the day that was not actually required of me therefore you get lumped into the same group. It’s very regressive.

      Um, the military has massive shortage everywhere mainly because the standard American male is about 40 pounds overweight and is more interesting in playing CoD and watchin porn than serving. Woman as elite combat troops is a necessity. Lowering standards can be done and is done for two reasons...#1: There aren't enough recruits...take world war II when the initial filter for a capable infantryman was literacy...well they dropped that in about a month, and the tooth requirement too...#2: They might deem the standard inappropriate for future war situations...one in which navigational skill, technical skills, weapons skills might be more important than brute strength and endurance.

    As an Army Woman Vet, I'm appalled at how this is a sign of "strength". I went in after college and had many discussions with my recruiter as to why I refused to go officer with my degree. I can't lead anyone if I didn't get built up like they did. If you didn't go into the military you really can't speak on anything, the standards for Women are a joke compared to what they expect from Men. I definitely agree with Aba that it was eye opening that it wasn't at all what I expected after going in.

      I grew up in a military family & went through the boot camp drills with my dad & grandpa when I was in my teens. It's INSANE the level of fitness, accuracy & aptitude men are required to have compared to women. Almost none of them had to carry as much weight, run as far, do as many pushups/pullups/situps or any of that & it was a real eye-opener. Even funnier listening to those same people say they could "do the same work as a man", yet failing miserably & acting like it's the military's fault. Then there's the ones who complain about the draft & don't want to be conscripted at 18, despite all their rallying about being strong & capable. It's a fucking joke.

      Yes, and as civillian woman who study communication (this including journalistic, propaganda, psywar) I acknowledge that in brutal reality of war, in the battlefield, this female soldier would be the weak link in the troops, and it'll be the main target by the enemies who using her to destroy her troop. Let's be honest, in the war, what usually the most horrible thing happen to woman? Imagine if this female soldier caught by the enemies, tortured and brutally assaulted in front of their male companion by the enemies (to destroy and weaken the mental and psychological state of her male companion, I know it's harsh, but it's actually consider as psychological warfare. Inhuman, but this is war. It indeed happened a lot in history. That's why the most effective using female combatant is as assassin or spy, whatever fight that don't using brute force).
      In South East Asia, we have a lot of warlord queens and leaders, but they didn't do this stupidity. In Aceh, Indonesia, we had female admiral (Malahayati) and army commander (Tjoet Nyak Dien and Tjoet Moetia) who fought Dutch colonialist, but they didn't do this too. Queen Kalimanyat from Jepara who lead her Navy to fought Portuguese colonialist, didn't like this either. Modern Western feminist propagandist are so out of touch and not realistic. A woman can be really nasty when they fight, but a man is another level, their body masculine structure is perfectly made for a physical fight.

    I do very complicated work on fighter jet electronics (soldering, wire repair, testing, troubleshooting, etc.) One of the most useless and incompetent people in my unit was a girl who slept with her supervisor (who later got kicked out for drug use, so no one was ever punished) and he signed her off on all her proficiency tasks early even though she was nowhere near ready. Because she got signed off so fast, leadership put her up to be field promoted. Despite getting in the military a year and a half after me (and sucking) she was two ranks ahead of me at her three year mark. She constantly broke shit and made far more work for us because she was so utterly incompetent. She would ask questions that 6-month old fresh recruits knew the answers to despite being in a supervisory position.
    She was so bad at the job that our leadership invented a new job for her so she would stop breaking shit - she was the "training manager"; basically sitting in the office all day, occasionally having to make a phone call to schedule someone for a class. Then when covid started, while we were all still busting our asses, she got to "telework", meaning she stayed at home to do nothing instead of doing nothing in the office. Meanwhile this girl is making nearly $300/month more than me. I still grind my teeth until they squeak when I hear shit like "women get paid less for doing the same work as men"

    Yeah, when I was a recruit at Parris Island in the Corps they wouldn't let you exercise after 10 - 11ish or so as it was too hot, and heat casualties were pretty common. One day in line for lunch the Company CO, a Captain, went running by with a pack on his back, and I swear that guy wasn't breaking a sweat. Never complained about exercising in the heat after that, and that one act by the Cpt motivated a lot of us to do better, because he did it too.

      It’s just a perilous standard, “toughing out the heat.” As you said yourself…the casualties were “pretty common.” People ban things when A person dies, sometimes. “Pretty common” is an issue. I’m sure it’s because the Captain was a damn machine, but straight away “not breaking a sweat” is literally the first sign you’re trying to die of actual heat stroke. We picked a LOT of stupid little hills to become demented and die on in the name of being “tough.” I’m in there myself.

At the end of advanced training, there was one position open for the top trainee to transfer in immediately as an instructor. I was straight up told by the staff that I would've qualified for that position, but due to diversity requirements, they could only promote a female, so my friend got it instead.
