The only thing I partially disagree with.....THE STANDARDS should not be lowered for women to serve in combat roles.

That is what he said. We need to go back to like 1995 standards. If a woman can meet those them maybe. He is overall still against women and men in combat because like it or not nature does what nature does.

I like the (maybe) lol and still don't want women in combat - for two reasons:

1) Even if the standards are the same (Great), our bodys are not. We never care about the feelings of men who don't meet those standards, why should we care here (about sex/gender)? In combat roles & situations, too much time, effort and cost is spent in triage if something goes wrong. Show me an honest study, and I'll bet it would show it weakens a unit, not strengthens one.

2) Do we really want our sisters, daughters and wives fighting? I maintain, we as a country, do not. We lift them up, and we honor them for their effort. But that effort should be in support of combat troops, not within them.
