And that standard is chosen by the military. It can include "be a man" just like it includes "be younger than 35" and it doesn't matter if you know a 50-year-old triathlete who'd be able to meet all the other standards.
I think GoingCamaro is referring to the double Physical Fitness standards for Males / Females that current exists in the Military. Females are required to be less fit than their Male counterparts.
More than likely, I think we all agree the different standards are stupid. But I'm against admitting women at all, they were arguing it should be her choice as long as the standards are equal
But if a woman (or a 55yr old man) CAN meet the exact same standards, what’s the problem?
If they can carry the weight, walk the distance, shoot as accurately, do the hand to hand combat and everything else... there’s no rational basis to exclude them.
Based off if they can meet the standard.
