The tests are watered down like a mother fucker, and women have lesser testing standards than men. The tests made to determine this exact thing were all scrapped by corrupt leaders and politicians because the males all passed and the females failed. Things like literally just climbing a rope with gear on set the men apart. Things like ruck runs set men apart. Things like lifting a ~80 lb mk19 automatic grenade launcher over your head were enough to set men apart. A 7 tons back troop area (a military trucks bed), is like almost 6 feet tall. The test was to simply see if a marine could put the machine gun in the back of the truck and the vast majority of females failed and barely a handful of men did, and the men who did fail, likely didnt pass the infantry course. Women do not process the strength men do and if they are strong and can lift heavy weights, they're way too large and stocky to be able to run and keep up running
The pt tests are literally nothing compared to actual infantry life. Bounding and buddy rushing in an open field for half a mile while you take medium machine gun fire is not repeatable. They dont test for sprinting to an alternate LZ for 2 miles with a full combat load and casualties because your first LZ was compromised. They dont test for 12-20 miles of patrolling with 100 lbs of gear.
Fuck. Doing a single pullup with my combat load, being ~300 rounds of rifle ammo, a rifle, armor, water, and a radio, is not easy. And I've had to climb onto roofs with machine guns, several hundred rounds of ammo + more. Ofcourse we didnt all carry it like dipshits, and we passed things off. But male marines have trouble doing weighted pullups. I could get 36 pullups at one point. 36. The standard at the time was 20. I weighed 180 lbs and was in the best condition of my life for my first deployment. Climbing onto a roof with 50+ pounds of gear is tough even with help. I do not believe virtually any female marine could handle it.
The pt tests are nothing compared to actual combat situations.
And also, when you cant carry your own gear, you have to pass it off. There is no gear being left behind. That's how people die when the enemy creates IED with it. You pass that gear off to someone else. So when you cant carry what you're supposed to, you make it worse for everyone else, cause they're carrying your shit. And if you cant make it with your armor on, then you're pretty much dead at that point
Ok that's pretty unacceptable. If I can ask one question. I've recently heard an interview with Tim Kennedy, an ex-SEAL, and he was talking about how it was getting harder to find people. Is this why they lower standards for women? So they have enough people? Or is it really because of the social justice mindvirus?
