The more PC we get, the more money we'll need to study the obvious and then declare the results racist or sexist and ignore them.

Something else women lack compared to men is lung capacity, and by quite a large margin.

More lung capacity helps in oxygenating the blood and in turn makes women suck compared to men in the military.

It's science.

I'll bet if they had substantial protrusions at the end of their urinary tract they'd also be able to relieve themselves as efficiently as male soldiers.  And have greater strength & muscle mass & aggression if they produced more testosterone instead of estrogen due to chromosomal differences.

I'll take a million dollar grant for the study, please.

If they want more women in the infantry, just change the sex (on paper) of some of the dudes already there. If the media questions it, call them transphobic.

I think the real issue here is that the current height and weight standards discriminate against the very body types that are better at those tasks. Men are similarly affected, but probably not as much, since so many smaller men can still meet fixed standards and the guys built like “strong man” competitors either fight body fat restrictions all their career, or get out early. With women, though, when everyone is tripping over themselves to prove they can make it, this issue is much more in the forefront. This petite little marathon runners and cross fitters might be great at body weight exercises, but they don’t have much body weight.

Weight is just an initial screen.

People over the weight aren’t out of reg unless they don’t make “tape,” and tape is based on waist size in relation to height and neck size. So, big-necked guys can have more gut than skinny-necked guys.

The AF system doesn’t give a shit how tall you are (or how big your neck is). Shirt guys can be much more obviously “fat” than taller guys, proportionally.

Best GD comment of the week.

"Stripes" has been nothing more than a politically-slanted liberal mouthpiece for quite some years now. They're just pushing the current PC agenda of "gender inclusion" forward like every other leftist roll of used toilet paper these days. It's basically just a big advertising campaign- keep female "warriors"(eye roll) on the from burner. First world militaries are pushing this shit all on lesser nations' militaries during advisory and training deployments these days too. It's all part of a larger UN initiative. And once USASOC starts churning chicks out of SFQC, seeing how now there's no real way to fail that, JCETs will be a big gender-inclusive group hug session too.

One things for sure, things are going to get real stupid until the next real war kicks off.

A perfect system doesn't exist.  Our current system is the least bad I've seen in my Air Force.

The litter obstacle course at Fort Sam back in 1988 convinced me that women weren't cut out for some jobs in the military.

That and the fact they fell out on runs at much higher rates.

And the fact they struggled carrying two water cans or fuel cans up a hill.

And the fact they suck at the fireman's carry.

And the fact they much higher pregnancy rates than men when deployments crop up.
