Women are not fit for front line combat!

Gallant offered encouragement for women who have never trained their body to do a pullup. She pointed to “zero to 20-plus,” a pullup program created by Maj. Misty Posey that was posted on the Marine Corps’ official website in February. The 55-year-old colonel went from zero to 17 pullups in less than one year, and is still going strong.

“It is very doable for women to do pullups,” Gallant said. “Most women can get their first pullup after about two weeks of being on the program. I worked on them for about half an hour in the morning and about 10 to 15 minutes in the evening. Once I got my first one, they came pretty quick after that. Once they get up to 10, it's a piece of cake to maintain it.”

I guess you forgot to read the part above. If trained, they can do it, even after 50+ years old.

It doesn't change the fact that they are lowering the standards and trying to compensate the fact that,with the same standards,way less women would pass the test.If this was a desk job,i wouldn't mind this kind of affirmative actions,but we are talking about a job where minimize deaths and maximize mission sucess is crucial and not negotiable.With the same standards most women wouldn't be able to be part of this missions,but now thanks to this we can have a less optimal team on the field because "welp at least is a diverse team".

And most men are starting with a much better baseline than most woman. Apply the same training to a man, and he's still going to be much further ahead. In any physical test.
