  • Marine Corps Study Finds Women at a Disadvantage in Combat

    Here is the link to a CBS News report about a study that the Marine Corps did. The study compared men and women fighting side by side and the results say that men perform better and get hurt less often. What do you think?

    Just out of curiosity, do you think female bodybuilders should be allowed to fight in combat alongside men?

    I think there should be a minimum standard that is set by combat requirements, not by social engineering.
    The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

          I'm a little surprised there was no pushback to the report in the video - it was accepted a bit glumly, but not disputed.

            Why should they??
            Remember that you are dust and to dust you shall return.

              Just kinda wondering why this is being brought up now, when this study appears to have been done in 2015? I thought maybe this was "new" stuff.


              ETA: And, for those interested in the actual findings, look here. It's more compelling that I had suspected.

                Yup, big surprise.

                      I agree. Requirements should not be lowered in order to get more women in combat roles.

                        I didn't hear about the study until now. Thank you for the link to the report.

                          Political correctness regardless of the harm, just like almost every other PC push.
