Article: How to make women’s service in combat roles a success.
My all time favorite song (the live version,) might I add
This part of the article stopped me:
“The conclusion the Marines reached on how to avoid future failures: the Marines should design and adopt a “gender-neutral” physical evaluation test. The Army, watching the Marines go through this process first, is taking notes, and it will probably adopt some form of whatever the Marines select as their best solution.”
What exactly makes a physical evaluation gender-neutral? It sounds like it means making parts easier so women can do them, but that doesn’t sound like a good idea since no one is going to make actual real-life combat gender-neutral.
