Blacks in the military? My first company commander in basic training was a Black lieutenant in 1978. My last company commander in 1986, was a female Black captain (she was very popular because she sorta acted like a Master Sergeant in terms of her commitment to protecting her troops). I would have followed her into combat if asked. Women were not in combat roles back then, but Captain Jones was worthy to lead her soldiers in combat.

Retired from aerospace, I’ve met many ladies building Northrop’s B-2, Rockwell’s B-1 & Space Shuttles; met female engineers & pilots at nearby AF Base. Women have shown they are qualified. Removing women from military service is not in the best interests of our volunteer military. 😡

[@TheTerryscotttaylor]

I think the difference is in the specific role. Flying a plane (piloting a weapons system) makes sense, provided you don't blunt the edges of the training (SERE) or drop the physical standards. If she goes down behind enemy lines, she needs to have the best chance possible to get herself out (very possibly injured). The issue most people have is when you have a male and a female standard. Meaning that a male could perform better than a female, yet he fails and she's good enough. This isn't fair to him. If the ACTUAL requirement isn't that high the standard shouldn't be that high. If the standard SHOULD be that high, you're setting someone up for failure by allowing anyone in that can't meet the standards. The standards aren't exclusionary to be mean, they're that way to give the best chance to come out alive.

[@SpringIsBACK]

No one is suggesting removing women from military service. Just revert the standards to 1995, for combat, and give women their own ground combat units, if that is what they really want.

Show us your badge of honor. Mouth.

Yup he a 🤡 🦚

[@justifiably_stupid4998]

He was asked about women in combat roles. He responded by saying it doesn't matter what you identify as. Is a woman just an identity to him?

Ok Dr Oz 🤡👌

Yeah, A woman went to Ranger School.... and they had to lower the standards for her to graduate....

[@UnorthodoxKnox]

They lowered the standards, and forced the male candidates to carry their lightened ruck because their backs blew out faster than my last relationship.

[@intercat4907]

You know who doesn't say that? Male rangers. And if you had been paying attention for the last ten years ... but you look nice in the camo.

Too bad Miley, Patton and MacArthur couldn't sit down and talk.

Comcast is ditching MSNBC. Comcast is flushing the toilet, finally.

[@garyhall5397]

How many standards are there? Same for all, or adjusted for some?

[@TheTerryscotttaylor]

Two sets for almost all roles, one set for males and an easier set for females. I was in the AF and even our very low standards for males (laughably low, but we weren't operational/combat, we were grease monkeys) were adjusted down for females.

[@danven1256]

Starting in January the American military catering to the mentally ill is over, and Milley had better lawyer up. 🤣

[@ICallItAsItIs]

Women can meet/pass the standard...when it's lowered for them.

[@reca5038]

You need to do some research. The requirements for women are the same as for men.

Women should NOT be on the front lines.

[@genjidora8742]

I served 9 years and you'd be surprised how many women are more fit than men. 70% of the military are overweight, and the DoD spends $1.5B annually on unfit troops. I was a combatives instructor for my unit for a few years and firsthand watched and evaluated some women who absolutely demolished some of the men they had to compete against. I was also one of three instructors, one of them was a woman who ran the combatives program alongside me. Unfit people should NOT be on the front lines, period.

[@SuperBlobsterMan]

@@genjidora8742 Women are a distraction for young men who have to be completely focused on combat. Just the facts, can't change nature. A 100,000 Chinese, male only, combat team would destroy a DEI force.

[@tyafasf]

Why? Because women have BIGGER balls than most men?
