The PC idiots are at it again:

What exactly can't they do?
What exactly can't they do? I could care less of the motives of the politicians. I see no reason to exclude an entire group because we want to twart persons from taking advantage of it, for political fain. IF one SINGLE woman can do the job, then she's entitled to the opportunity.
How is thus destroying our military? If they can do the job why should they be excluded?

That's the thing: they CAN'T do the top-tier jobs, the requirements will be too much for 99% of women. Please stop being a knucklehead.
Even I know there's more to the job than physical ability. Reducing this to a mere strength issue is foolish.
How so ?
Cause that's really what it comes down to when talking about these kinds of jobs .
My third year in , I could carry a 130 + big green tick (lge ruck) , weapon and LBE gear at 4 miles an hour for 14 miles and I still couldn't keep up with those guys .
Show me a chick that can do that and I'll gladly buy her a drink but don't lower the standards for anybody .
I have a friend who is trying out for our SWAT team. If she passes the school and get chosen she would be the first female in our long history to be on SWAT. She runs circles around the fittest guys in the process (and they are really good). She is a small gal but drug that 200lb dummy without hesitation. I think she will make a fine SWAT officer, she has to pass the same physical standards as the males, hell the males might need lower standards to keep up with her...haha. She is FAR from alone in this world and I see no problem with giving female the SAME opportunities as the males. No need to lower the standards. BTW, she still looks like a female even with her 3% body fat.
