If she completed the exact same training and testing as the men then I have no problem with this.

There are plenty of women stronger and tougher than me and it doesn't make me less of a man to admit it.

The Secretary of Defense forced the Army’s and USMC’s hands when they were doing gender integrated unit training in like 2014 after both branches came back and said they’re not good at even basic infantry unit tactics and maneuvers. Their efficacy fell far below all men units by a multitude of at least three.

Furthermore, they get injured at a higher clip, don’t have the stamina, and can’t shoot as well.

Ash Carter (or Hagel, I can’t remember which one it was) said “I don’t care, push them through”

But yeah, I’m going to really believe that this woman passed one of the most grueling training regimens the US military has to offer without lowering the standards or somebody pushing her through.

You're either A) a midget or, B) 12 and not gone thru puberty yet. Or most likely, C) stupid and buying into what hollywood and the media has been telling you for years: that women are badasses. That skinny chicks can kick grown mens asses. That they are no different physically despite being physiologically different in bone density, testosterone, musculature, etc, etc. No woman is kicking the average mans arse.

This is actually not true for upper body and grip strength, unless you are in the weakest 1% of men. There is almost no overlap between men and women on these parameters. The strongest women are weaker than the weakest men in almost all cases.
