Come on guys, this issue has nothing to do with Obama or Democrats. This was the military, specifically the Marines, increasing standards. And if this doesn't pan out it won't be lowering standards, but simply returning them to what they were just a short while ago.

I'm torn on this one. While I have no issue with women serving in combat roles, and they should be held to higher physical standards than what they currently are. But women's bodies simply are not designed for pull ups, and pull ups are not the best test for combat readiness anyways.

Bring standards for women up to where men are for the run and the sit ups, and figure something else out for the pull ups.

How many do you think can pull a 200 lb man out of a bad spot?

They don't belong in the trenches.

As the article explain, upper body strength is necessary for many battle situations, like pulling yourself out of a ditch. Anyone who thinks someone who can't even do three pull-ups is ready for combat is a certifiable moron.

That requires more core and leg strength than upper body strength.

And if that's what you're worried about then make that the new test instead of pull ups.

It's okay, they can pull voting levers just fine as 332-206 proves.
Meanwhile Al Queda continues to master the monkey bars.

What the hell does that have to do with anything I posted?

Nothing, she is woman, hear her roar.

She is simply trying to screw her way to whatever goal she has set.

You do whatever gets that person to safety. When I was going through the crucible in boot camp one of the tests was to drag a person a certain distance.

Admittedly nothing except electing a CIC who doesn't go around invading countries that did not invade us eliminates the need to do chin-ups in combat.

You bet your life on them then, the rest of us will not.

What makes you think a woman who can't do three pull-ups can drag a 200 lb. man 100 yards to safety?

Liberal scum have infiltrated the Pentagon and are trying to destroy the US military from within with their polices and budget cuts. They are doing the work of China and Russia from Washington DC right under the noses of the American public.

Gutting the military pay/benefits, weapon systems, etc.
Openly gay people in the military to undermine morale and recruiting.
Blocking Christianity from the military.
Lowering fitness standards for women and letting them serve in combat roles.
Etc....etc...etc.

Which again has nothing to do with me, anything I have ever done, or anything in my post.

Kook....I don't follow your demented mind.

Oh, but tell us your vast military experience compared to mine that goes 44 years.

Again...the scum forcing these "changes" throughout the military never served and many times have spent their lives going after the DoD through law and policy over the years.

They know letting a handful of flaming homos to flaunt their stuff in the military will drive down recruiting, which is the end goal...a small impotent military.

Lowering fitness standards for women then sneaking them into the combat units again supports creating an impotent military.

To them an impotent military means less US power worldwide and somehow that means less wars worldwide too. Reality is that are making the world more dangerous. China, Iran, North Korea, Russia and the islamofascist nuts are watching and liking what they see....

Wacky you don't drag a man out, you carry him.

You obviously aren't a military man.

 

[1776]

That is funny..."carry a man" out of the battlefield.

Um, standing up and carrying someone is a bigger target than dragging them out. If someone has a spinal injury, you pull them by their jacket/shirt, one doesn't flip them over their shoulder and run off with them while diving from bullets.

Wacky you don't drag a man out, you carry him.

You obviously aren't a military man.

Positioning yourself outside of Pluto is good.....keep up the good work and thanks for your service. I'm sure the battle of Vicksburg was tough.
