I don't see how it ever made sense to have different standards unless the standards were all made up and arbitrary to begin with.

If there is a minimum level of fitness needed for combat, everyone in combat should meet it.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is signing a new memo to implement the same standards for men and women in combat roles.

Isn't this the exact philosophy that liberals have been demanding for all these years? Now, watch how quickly they're suddenly against it.

It’s silly enough as it is that we even let women in the military to begin with.


Women can fulfill a lot of valuable roles in the military, such as nurses and secretaries.
