Anyone who believes this bullshit should follow any mixed gender PT formation on Ft. Bragg.
The first ones to drop out are invariably the females, and the ones I have seen normally walk back to the unit area, rather than run at their own pace. The only way to prevent this is for the entire formation to run at a pace that is little more than a walk. No one will require females to meet the same standards as their male peers for fear of the PC police. There is allagedly a female Colonel in the 82nd who has failed her last 7 APFTs, and she is getting a command anyway.
The only thing that is going to happen here is the standards for all will be lowered, at a time when physical demands of our soldiers have never been higher.
Maybe we should first eliminate separate men's and women's sports programs and make everyone compete on the same field? Let's see how that would turn out before we bet our nation's security on it.
Require females attending military courses like Airborne School to meet the same standards as men, to register for the draft like men, and be scored on the same PT Test standards as men, FIRST.
Will our military leadership step up and do the right thing?
