Pentagon generals talk about gender neutral physical standards …

… in order for women to maybe qualify for combat arms jobs.

Seems to me there’s only one way to establish one-gender-fits-all: lower present men’s PT requirements, or raise present women’s requirements.

Either way, a 20-mile road march with 50-pound rucksack plus weapon plus ammunition don’t care about PT standards – You can either make it or you can’t.

‘Fear of G.I. Jane: Special operations forces are worried about adding women’

“Army Gen. Martin E. Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, has said that if a service wants to keep a job as a male-only occupation because of its high physical demands, the service will have to show why those tests should not be lowered to accommodate women.”

The headline sucks. “Fear of G.I. Jane”?? BS. Big time BS.
