| 2016-03-28 |
| [Daily Caller] Since Defense Secretary Ash Carter announced in December that all combat positions must open up to women across the services, military officials have insisted standards for mental and physical fitness will not lower to accommodate women, but countless experts and former military servicemembers consider all such promises to be little more than empty words. Here's exactly how a shift in standards in the infantry and elite special operations could happen. |

| #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. |

| #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 |

| #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… |

| #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?) |

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