Several women I work with think that the disparity between women's requirements and men's requirements for pushups and the 2-mile is ridiculous.
When I asked the question as to whether or not as a compromise that the min/max rates for women would be 70% of that of men in the same age group, almost all of them thought that was a fairly reasonable compromise.
I'm not saying you're pointing in this direction, but you can't possibly believe that this is healthy for the force, right? That this was driven by anything other than pure political pandering?
People continuously get distracted by the physical requirements here (which are vital, to be fair) and fail to focus on the most critical pieces of this bullcrap, which is on cohesion and unit effectiveness.

That's what is so frustrating. Females physical limitations are one of the least important issues here. But I can't put up a graph or chart that shows what women do to morale and discipline. Anyone who has ever served know how big of a distraction they are, but people who have never been in a line unit will never understand it. It's not their fault, but they are simply incapable of really understanding the issues.
