The United States Army is reportedly considering doing away with its new “gender-neutral physical test” after test results showed that the majority of women failed while approximately 90 percent of men passed. Officials are reportedly considering having different evaluation categories for men and women due to the physiological differences between the two.“Research showed that the Army Combat Fitness Test [ACFT], which is the same for male and female soldiers, was leading to lower results for women with a knock-on effect for promotions,”

It’s shocking to believe that men and women are physically different from each other. Wow. That ain’t right.

Huge risk here of having to spend the next month in a bunker somewhere but,
the basic combat training I went through in the 60's had no place for females. I cannot belive how corkscrewed things are now.

Where would they have gotten the idea there would be a different outcome than the one they got???

The Army has become yet another government paid "single mother" make work program. Sorry but it's true.
And if they think Conservatives will just keep towing the line for them, they have another thing coming!!

How come during past wars the political Generals who were in charge when the war started always seemed to get changed out and were replaced by fighting Generals who actually then went on to win the wars?
How many of the “woke” Generals and retired Generals who Biden has appointed to run the Pentagon and the Armed Forces have ever won a war?

Our woke Department of Defense deserves this issue. It's exactly what you get when you have transgenders competing as women.

Way back in 1981 we had an obstacle course in basic training. On it was a tower with ropes that we had to climb to get to the top, and more ropes to get back down the other side. It was a bear of an obstacle.
One day some reporters from a local TV station showed up to get video of the girls climbing the tower. Not a single one made it. Eventually the TV people packed up and left in disgust.

"Officials are reportedly considering having different evaluation categories for men and women due to the physiological differences between the two."
This is better than the usual liberal solution: equally lowering the evaluation categories men and women (to avoid gender discrimination).

Back in the 70's one of the networks in Chicago was doing a fluff piece on the state police academy telling us how women meet the same rigorous physical requirements and men and then panned to the kiddies doing push ups, wouldn't you know it the ladies were doing girly pushups while the men were of course doing real pushups. The idiots in the news room demonstrated the exact opposite of what they intended to portray.

I wonder if it could have anything to do with this, FTA: 'Griest said that implementing “gender-based scoring” or reducing “the minimum standards for combat arms” would “have both immediate and insidious impacts on combat effectiveness, as well as on women’s credibility and potential.” Isn't insidious impact what Sorobama began, and CCPuppet Biden continues?

All of these wokesters who are so into “follow the science” have ignored thousands of years of science which explains that men are larger and stronger because their role had always been to protect and provide for their women and children. Women are, by nature, nurturers, due to their role in bearing children. They are not, by nature, combatants.
These wokesters are the same people whose “science” tells them that globull warming is real despite the fact that every prediction they’ve ever made has not happened, and that human chromosomes are “fluid”.

Who was the freaking idiot that ever thought men and women could handle the same physical activities? The only way that could occur would be to lower standards so most women could pass and all men would pass. We are being ruled by idiots.

Maybe they should institute two “gender-neutral physical tests”, one for the infantry types and another for the mess kit repair types?

How far this country has fallen is appalling. Political correctness and diversity have destroyed every part of our society. Why do these morons think transgender men playing in women's sports are always winning. BECAUSE MEN ARE MEN AND WOMEN ARE WOMEN. DO YOU FREAKIN GET IT YET. Sickening.

In other words, Military affirmative action. They cannot pass the test, so how can they do the job ?
ALL army personnel are mandated to be in combat, if needed. What a disgrace. Don't females want to be EQUAL with males ? ; of course, but not always. Just when it suits them.

Biological men identifying as female can compete with girls in school sports per Biden executive order even though the Pentagon now concedes that men are stronger. This does not compute. I'd say this strengthens the federal lawsuit from the Alanna Smith et al from Connecticut. If it's right for the army it's right for biological women in sports.

EQUALITY! Let's stop the BS. That what warrior women want. That's what they should get. Can't cut it? Get cut. Maybe the military isn't a trade for many women. Neither is the NFL, and I don't hear anyone advocating "affirmative action".

I skip movies that feature Uber-femmes kicking all kinds of butts, no matter the odds against them. Hollywood is stuck on showing women in heroic roles.

My guess is those pushing this women are equal to men physically and pushing it on the military have never served a day IN the military. I commanded units with women in physically challenging jobs and more times than not women had to wait for men to come along to help handle jobs requiring physical strength. I retired after more than 30 years knowing from sad experience that proven rules and common sense will be suspended when promotions are in play.

solution: recruit trans women, men in women's clothing. Hey, if Frank can put on a dress and compete as "Francine" in women's sports, why cant he, uh she, join the military as Francine and pump their diversity numbers?

A little history most people never knew or followed. At the end of Vietnam War in the 1972, by then by the mid seventies, the All Volunteer Force was failing. The solution was to recruit women to serve to end the shortfall --that the All Volunteer Force could not fill. All other services quickly followed suit to recruit women to meet recruiting goals under Jimmy Carter. So we have women who cannot meet the male physical standards because they are female very different physically than males being recruited.. I can remember female Airmen getting their male counterpart doing the heavy lifting of a 80 lb maintenance tool box because they couldn't or looking for a task off the flight line to get out of the bad weather. Steve Chapman Chicago Tribute columnist In the mid eighties made a great analogy about women in the military comparing what was happening to a car running on under inflated tires. Still moving but inefficient.
