    U.S. Army Considers Reversing ‘Gender-Neutral Physical Test’ After Majority Of Women Fail To Keep Up With Men: Report

    Article from The Daily Wire
    By Ryan Saavedra

    "
    The United States Army is reportedly considering doing away with its new “gender-neutral physical test” after test results showed that the majority of women failed while approximately 90 percent of men passed. Officials are reportedly considering having different evaluation categories for men and women due to the physiological differences between the two.

    “Research showed that the Army Combat Fitness Test [ACFT], which is the same for male and female soldiers, was leading to lower results for women with a knock-on effect for promotions,” The Telegraph reported. “An early Pentagon study showed that women were failing the ACFT at a rate of 65 per cent, while only 10 percent of men did.”"

    You must have gotten out back in the 70s or 80s then because it was surely all PC bs when I joined in the 90s. Making them take the same test was actually a good thing after forcing all the PC crap on everybody for decades. Proves that everything they claim is BS.

    Like I said back then and still believe, if they can do all of the same jobs then why do we take separate physical tests with them having much lower expectations?

    I was actually in during the 90’s stationed at Fort Bragg as an infantryman. I was there when the 3 soldiers killed the black couple in Fayetteville and the Neo-Nazi scandal was taking place. It may have been a little PC then, but nowhere near as bad as today. We could still drink underage in the barracks, swear, cuss and call things the way we saw them without recourse, and hazing was a right of passage. Now you get a court martial, or an article 15.

    Women want to be a Ranger, SEAL, etc.? Fine, but don’t lower the standards.

    They don't need to get rid of it, they just need to adjust it to make it a lot easier. So 90% of women pass, and 100% of men do. Then they can still be woke. Just have to hope nobody tries to attack us. Thank God for the Marines.

    Kinda like filling this industry with automatics so more people that still can’t drive can pass the test.
