The Army now requires men and women to meet the same standards of physical fitness for combat roles

[Prince.Skeletor]

Where are you on this

 

[Sterling Archer]

It’s a military force. There shouldn’t have been a compromise of combat effectiveness in the first place. What logic other than inclusion was there to lower the requirement bar for physical ability? There are women who can meet that fitness test standards as it was, no need to have lowered it.

Kinda dumb especially with everything becoming drones.

But they trying to remake a 21st century Knights Templar... so I guess they tryna cook.

Edit: Combat...

[O.T.I.S.]

If there was any other reason besides this being because of Hegseth and Trump, I might agree with this.

Combat roles

At the end of the day they want to discourage anyone who isn't a white guy from joining.

It's the same thing with shaving waivers that they know will affect black men disproportionately.

Hegseth is a piece of shyt, but i've had enough of liberals trying to guilt me into "protesting" this dude removing weird fakkitry from the military

As s Navy veteran, I have a great respect for the Army, but in today's theater of war, these guys are ducks. Please set your sights on the Air Force or Navy.

Hate to burst this bubble but faggetry has always been in the military, just as much as it has been in everyday life.

It was just don’t ask don’t tell, and as far as trannies and shyt, extremely uncommon.

Military in general has become softer to me, but it has also become more advanced and smarter which usually leads to a little softness developing to balance it.


But for combat roles, I do think you better be up to whatever those standards are or it’s dangerous af to everyone around you. So I have no opinion on this and don’t know why its news. It should be this way… unless they are having a hard time filling those roles in which the standards will relax… or they are not needed in just combat roles as much.

I think this is ok as long as the enemy believes in inclusion too
