#1 Lowering standards has worked magnificently for non-combat jobs for decades. I'm sure it will work fine for everything else.

#2 Well, combat arms should only have one set of PT standards. I generally don't care about an individual catching the big one when the bullets and lead start flying but I do care that endangers everyone else in the team because that's one less to cover for everyone else. Yep, them support people work just as well in a mobile environment. (do I need to put a /sarc on the last one?)

#3 I wonder if the US Military Academies will lower their standards on their football teams to allow woman to play on the gridiron. Oh, that’s right they play football to win, not to be equal!! We only fight wars these days to be equal…

#4 The clerks and jerks not needing to be a combat proficient is a good theory but when the feces hit the fan that could be a big problem.

Just ask Charlie Wheeler and HHC 173 Light Infantry about clerks and jerks fighting like tigers on the first night of the 1968 Tet

#5 Tet or the Bulge - they're all suddenly soldiers. It happens. There's no time for training in the minors. Only Darwin on the playing field.

#7 They will kill a lot of women by doing this. Then they'll blame us.

#8 Luckily the enemy will lower their standards too, just to be fair.

#9 Physically women may be inferior to the average Joe but don't disrespect there abilities, intelligence and commitment.

Jus' Sayin'

#10 Iff one is wondering why the Madonna Fan from Guam sezzes the US in FutWar may send an All-Femme Sub to attack-n-destroy China's heavily defended Three Gorges, WEHELL WONDER NO MORE!
