re: Women in Combat Arms: The Master Thread

Thanks. I thought I was about to have to construct the resource argument again.

And yes. It is STILL irrefutable.

I'll take it one further.

You give me 100 18 year old men who are 30 pounds overweight and 100 18 year old women who played sports all through high school.

At the end of 13 weeks of Infantry OSUT training, I will guarantee to that AT LEAST 45 of the top 50 performers are from my 100 men. I wouldn't be stunned if all 50 were.

I went to OSUT with a guy so fat we called him Grimace cause he showed up on purple.

At the end of 13 weeks. He was doing 80+ push ups and running sub 14 for two miles and kicked arse on the 18 mile road march. He's have killed 99.9% of all the females I worked with in 23 years.

The gap between typical men and women is enormous.

This is and will always be the only completely irrefutable argument for discrimination of any kind in government employment. Know this: Your argument made it into the RAND survey issued to SOF members in 2014.

And with quickness, your first downvote from one of our "tolerant" opponents

We used to discuss this a lot while deployed and this was before we were seeing women who are brick shite houses like that rousey ufc fighter so we didn't even consider them being able to compete physically we were more interested in thinking about how they'd handle things when shite hit the fan and if they'd be able to keep it together long enough to not get themselves or anyone else killed or if they'd have the balls to make that mad dash across the street under fire

For nothing more than entertainment value and just a bit of context.

Wonder who will be brave enough to venture in.

I was never affiliated with the 27th Infantry Regiment, just to completely validate the record.

Technically, yes, but something like 13 months from enlistment until I signed my ROTC contract - "real" mustangs might take umbrage with the label being applied to me. Hell, I was 23 when I got commissioned.

It was my downvote.

I downvote you on principal because I know you feed on them.
