From the article above:
"Unlike the ITB course, female Marine officers attempting to enter IOC are not expected to meet the same physical fitness screening standards as male Marines. But they do have to match male performance in the course.
All IOC candidates are pre-screened before they...
Nope. The article says that the women completed the same exercises as men, which is a correct statement.
What they didn't say is they were held to the same STANDARDS as men, which they aren't.
Sure, the women completed the same 12.5 march, or did the same pullups etc. What they aren't...
What I've discovered about people is that unless they take the initiative to educate themselves, they can't be educated.
I can spend all day telling you that every military branch (and probably 99% of police departments) have different standards for women than men, but as long as you want to...
Anyone who seriously thinks these women "passed" the requirements with the exact same standards as their male counterparts is willfully ignorant of military policy.
Ok, you got me on the weight issue.
However, unless you're buying a $300 1911, the "reliability" issue is a myth. My Kimber 1911's function 100% of the time, all the time. I've owned Glocks previously as well. I'm not a 1911 fanboy, but they are no less reliable than Glocks.

Sorry, history fail there. Lee's battle plans for Antietam (1862) were accidently found by a Union Corporal when McClellan was in charge. Even though McClellan had the plans he hesitated, and at best, fought Antietam to a draw when he could have used the plans to destroy Lee.
Grant beat Lee...
Yes, that's the guy. 9-11 playoff record, the majority being one-and-done. His little brother, who will likely never make the HOF, has twice the Superbowl wins.
Peyton Manning might just be the greatest regular season quarterback who ever played. Unfortunately, his playoff record takes a...
Some Asian people, whom English was obviously their second language, passing around a few display models and dry firing them in all directions without any concern who they were aiming at. It they hadn't been using real guns, it would have been almost comical.
