No more girl pushups if she's in a combat role.

I'm told there's negligible difference between men and women, so those that push equity should not have issue with this.

They should pretty sure bullets don’t move slower when shite at women and equipment is lighter because women are carrying it.

This will all but eliminate females in combat arms MOS slots, which is good. There is nothing to gain, and much to lose, from mixing females into combat units. Call me sexist. I don’t give a frick. But the fact still stands that putting women into combat arms is a horrible mistake.

I agree. But this is just a small step in the multiple disparate standards that exist between different sexes and different races in the army. At least it's a swing back towards sanity.

There are a ton of REMF units that just don't need much physical prowess to do their job well.

People overlook the fact that the Army is a massive logistics company that just happens to dabble in war fighting.
