America's Military: Rapidly Declining

Your argument, clearly proven false by the Army's own information which I quoted,  is moot.  It merits no more of my time, as do you.

So put me on ignore, like you promised

"The U.S. Army is considering reversing its plans to set a gender-neutral fitness standard in the new Army Combat Fitness Test (ACFT), an Army official told Military.com last month.

The ACFT was intended to be a gender-neutral test, and would have required soldiers to score 360 out of 600 possible points, but preliminary figures showed 54 percent female soldiers failing the gender-neutral standard, as compared to 10 percent of male soldiers, according to Army data shared with the Washington Post last fall. Female soldiers were also scoring 100 points lower on the test, on average, than their male counterparts."

As I stated.  The women can't hack a uniform, basic standard.  So the Army is planning to lower standards for them, so they can "succeed."

China is laughing at this, guaranteed.  So is Russia.  And rightly so.  This is insanity,  and it weakens us as a nation.

The results of the USMC's most recent experiment on the subject, attached and quoted below.  What do woke libtards usually say?  "We must follow the science!"  But not in this case.

 

"Summary of Research Findings
 Combat Effectiveness
o Overall: All-male squads, teams and crews demonstrated higher performance levels on 69% 
of tasks evaluated (93 of 134) as compared to gender-integrated squads, teams and crews. 
Gender-integrated teams performed better than their all-male counterparts on (2) events.
o Speed: All-male squads, regardless of infantry MOS, were faster than the gender-integrated 
squads in each tactical movement. The differences were more pronounced in infantry crew-
served weapons specialties that carried the assault load plus the additional weight of crew-
served weapons and ammunition.
o Lethality:
All-male 0311 (rifleman) infantry squads had better accuracy compared to gender-
integrated squads. There was a notable difference between genders for every individual 
weapons system (i.e. M4, M27, and M203) within the 0311 squads, except for the 
probability of hit & near miss with the M4.
o Male provisional infantry (those with no formal 03xx school training) had higher hit 
percentages than the 0311 (school trained) females: M4: 44% vs 28%, M27: 38% vs 25%, 
M16A4w/M203: 26% vs 15%.
o All-male infantry crew-served weapons teams engaged targets quicker and registered more
hits on target as compared to gender-integrated infantry crew-served weapons teams, with 
the exception of M2 accuracy.
o All-male squads, teams and crews and gender-integrated squads, teams, and crews had a 
noticeable difference in their performance of the basic combat tasks of negotiating 
obstacles and evacuating casualties. For example, when negotiating the wall obstacle, male 
Marines threw their packs to the top of the wall, whereas female Marines required regular 
assistance in getting their packs to the top. During casualty evacuation assessments, there 
were notable differences in execution times between all-male and gender-integrated 
groups, except in the case where teams conducted a casualty evacuation as a one-Marine 
fireman's carry of another (in which case it was most often a male Marine who "evacuated" 
the casualty)."

 

Also:  "Findings from the 
physiological assessment of GCEITF males and females conducted by the University of Pittsburgh’s 
Neuromuscular Research Laboratory include:
o Body composition: Males averaged 178 lbs, with 20% body fat: females averaged 142 lbs, with 
24% body fat
o Anaerobic Power: Females possessed 15% less power than males; the female top 25th percentile 
overlaps with the bottom 25th percentile for males
o Anaerobic Capacity: Females possessed 15% less capacity; the female top 10th percentile 
overlaps with the bottom 50th percentile of males
o Aerobic Capacity (VO2Max): Females had 10% lower capacity; the female top 10th percentile 
overlaps with bottom 50th percentile of males
o Within the research at the Infantry Training Battalion, females undergoing that entry-level 
training were injured at more than six-times the rate of their male counterparts
 27% of female injuries were attributed to the task of movement under load, compared 
to 13% for their male counterparts, carrying a similar load.
o During the GCEITF assessment, musculoskeletal injury rates were 40.5% for females, compared 
to 18.8% for males
 Of the 21 time-loss injuries incurred by female Marines, 19 were lower extremity 
injuries and 16 occurred during a movement under load task."

 

The science is pretty damn clear, and congruent with long human experience.   Feminist claims to the contrary are just so much wokeist blather.  Facts are facts.

Catastrophe? Nonsense. Apparently you haven't been paying attention. What it will lead to is a lot more decorations for female and "non-gender specific service members". Sure, there'll be some whining from white supremacist terrorists, but they'll be ignored as they should be.

The good ones are leaving.  The real good ones are working in-country as contractors.   No BS to put up with..

Thinking back...

Arguably the three most intense wars in which this country has been involved are the Civil War, World War I, and World War II. In all three a major component of ultimate victory was industrial production capacity of the Yankees.

If the United States becomes involved in another long intense war such as these, the nation no longer has such industrial production capacity. Much has been shipped overseas along with the knowledge to recreate it.

How much of the United States war machine is mostly or completely dependent on electronic components only available from overseas? Do those complex chips have “back doors” of great value to a potential enemy but unknown to United States military? How much necessary and currently rare minerals are almost exclusively available only from outside North America?

......Aaaaaaannnd, just as I predicted,  the Army caves to the feminazi brigades and their useful idiot woketard male surrogates.  Women will be given lower performance standards, and be allowed to pretend that they are "equal", all in the name of progressive ideology.  No one in uniform better dare call it out for the lunacy that it is, either.    Instant career suicide.

Perhaps we can get the Chinese or Russians or Muslim Terrorists to sign treaties agreeing to fight less hard when engaged by female-integrated US forces.  That would be "fair."

This is all such a crock of #@/%.  America is weaker for it, and weakening by the day.

And we obsess about woke bs like female infantry, trangender rights and maternity flight suits.
