Hmmmmm.... IMO, anyone that joins should be as capable as others. There should most certainly still be standards to be reached.

Army Having Second Thoughts About Gender-Neutral Fitness Test

The U.S. Army is reportedly considering changes to the Army Combat Fitness Test (ACFT) three years after announcing a new “gender-neutral” scoring system.

The new test would score soldiers on a service-wide percentile basis that is separated by gender, according to Task & Purpose. “We had this big thing of inclusion but this is one of the biggest eyesores that goes against inclusion,” an anonymous Army official reportedly told Task & Purpose.



Slides obtained by Task & Purpose outline potential changes to the ACFT that the Army would implement in their “ACFT 3.0.” Congress ordered the army to stop performing the ACFT as part of the 2021 National Defense Authorization Act until a study could be completed to observe how it affects soldiers.

“We know there is a physiological difference between men and women,” one slide obtained by Task & Purpose read. “The Army has to account for this and remove the competition between genders or Congress will never allow ACFT implementation.”

Preliminary scores showed a wide gap between men’s and women’s scores on the ACFT in 2019, according to the Army Times. The ACFT was supposed to become the official test of record in the service in Oct. 2020, but the official implementation was pushed back due to COVID-19, Task & Purpose reported.

One of the slides outlining the ACFT 3.0 reportedly says it will “address the congressional and action groups concerns over gender differences and the pass rate of the leg tuck.” In November, the Service Women’s Action Network (SWAN) wrote to Congress asking for more study of the ACFT.

Having lived through the beginnings of the intentional Drawdowns by the Clinton administration in the 90's. That's when the WRITING first appeared on the Wall.

Political intentions from the Left...as it is today following the OBAMA/BIDEN hidden agenda for our military is...AND HAS BEEN the eventual destruction of our forces from WITHIN by the use of GENDER. IMO...politicians in Washington, but mostly in the PENTAGON who are holdovers, and Secretive Hawks who always NEED a war to keep them happy...are willfully PITTING OUR MALE, and FEMALE members of the military against each other.
It's another simple SOCIALIST device they can use to DESTROY our military by pretending WOMEN are the SAME AS MEN when it comes to taking part in LIFE or DEATH situations the POLITICIANS always have to have their SELFISH little fingers in to give them MORE POWER while scaring Americans to PAY FOR MORE...even if it's not needed.

That should get me in a lot of trouble. But since I am older. I like to think of myself as much wiser, and more able to see THAT WRITING ON THE WALL...designed to destroy America.

So what the Army and dipsticks in Congress have discovered is there is a difference between men and women? Now why didn't I think of that

And Hell yes there is an an artificial competition between men and women (in the Marines and apparently the Army. Worked a lot better back when we had separate standards for males and females (sorry, no in betweens). Unfortunately, the truth also creates a disparity in promotion qualifiers based on actual performance and what the jobs are. That's what started this whole mess.

I say if an individual qualifies for a job, then they qualify for a job. Do I want women in my unit? Nope. Too many headaches and blame to go around. If I was in charge of a female unit (), I wouldn't want any males in it. Same reason. 20 years olds act really stupid around each other when both genders are involved.
