It didn't work well for the US Marine Corps:

Economics

The US Marines tested all-male squads against mixed-gender ones, and the results were pretty bleak​

Overall, the report says, all-male teams and crews outperformed mixed-gender ones on 93 out of 134 tasks evaluated. All-male teams were universally faster “in each tactical movement.” On “lethality,” the report says:


And:


And:


The report also says that female Marines had higher rates of injury throughout the experiment.

It's time to stop this Hollywood bullshit about females outperforming men in battle, or being anywhere near equal to men in battle. The real world knows better.

That's because an M-2 is controlled with a gizmo called T & E mechanism. Identify avenues of approach, set elevation and sectors of fires. It's even easier today, modern 50 cals don't require head space and timing, just a couple sets of gloves for barrel changes.

First, this bizarre, unhinged, threatening, un-American, traitorous post.

Can you enlighten me on what I'm not ready for? Literally have enough weapon, body armor, food and ammunition to supply a platoon plus. Literally until we demolished the democrat party on Nov 5, I was ready to settle this the other way. So please, threaten me with the "You aint ready"

Then, this slurping comment in support of a bizarre, unhinged, threatening, un-American traitor:

Thank you for your service

Pathetic.

Did I miss something?

I was being facetious, LOL. Most women couldn't pull back the charging handle.

Or moving the gun itself.

 

[UltraChad]

Wow a leftist turning shit super gay, what a shocker.

And derogatory too..... they never fail to put their hate for the LGBTQ+ community on display IMMIDIATELY.

 

[UltraChad]

More Misogyny.

Fun!

How the fuck is that misogyny?? Do you know what word means??

 

[Rightguide]

I'd like to see an all female 155mm artillery team (typically operating a howitzer like the M777 or M198). That would be fun.

 

[UltraChad]

Sadly this is the truth.

There's a big push on right now with the VA to find out why Vets suicide more than civilians do. I think the number is that there's a 12% higher rate of suicide.

They seriously need a study to figure that out??

How many PhD's does it take to screw in a lightbulb???

They want to figure out how to solve that problem.

I don't think they do.

Just hold them to the basic male standards.......they CAN'T HACK IT.

That's the answer right there.

 

[UltraChad]

MAGAts are cowardly traitors and weak-ass punks.

The comment I’m responding to is a perfect example of why all MAGAts should be in prison.

If the MAGAts lose elections, they “settle this the other way” (See J6).

What a bunch of weak-ass, un-American, traitorous punks.

Says the USA loathing communist.

LMFAO sure bud!! It's the people who don't hate the USA and everything it ever stood for that are traitors.

TRUE PATRIOTS are commies who want to burn it to the ground...like you!!

 

[Rightguide]

Just hold them to the basic male standards.......they CAN'T HACK IT.

Wonder what their sustained rate of fire would be? Could they even approach one round a minute. If they had a female strong enough to lift 90 lbs, it would probably take her more than a minute to hump it to the gun.

How the fuck is that misogyny?? Do you know what word means??

I do. He hates women who aren't put in their place....always has. Certainly hates feminism and feminists.

Women deserve to be in the armed forces. There are certain situations where it is not the best for women to be involved with men.

 

[Lance_Castro]

Shouldn’t all of that be based on ability?

Just as there are men like Rob, Delux, Hisarpy who are too weak to handle field duty, there are women who are tough enough and strong enough.

Like direct combat against other men or anywhere else that requires lowering our military standards.

That's not at all what I meant. But it demonstrates what I just said about you.

 

[UltraChad]

I do.

Then why misuse it??

He hates women who aren't put in their place....always has.

That's a nice ascription from the fee fees.

Certainly hates feminism and feminists.

Being hated comes with being a bigot.

Women deserve to be in the armed forces.

Sure I don't think anyone has said otherwise.

There are certain situations where it is not the best for women to be involved with men.

Well since it's no big deal in showers/changing rooms.... I'm not really seeing any problem other than the handicapped standards that females get as a privilege for being female.

 

[UltraChad]

That's not at all what I meant. But it demonstrates what I just said about you.

No it doesn't.

Wanting equality instead of female privilege/supremacy isn't misogyny.

Misogyny is the hatred of women. You along with like 99% of democrats need to figure that out.

 

[Rightguide]

That's not at all what I meant. But it demonstrates what I just said about you.

So you think standards should be lowered to accommodate women?

 

[ll74]

So you think standards should be lowered to accommodate women?

No.

 

[Lance_Castro]

No.

Yes, the US Army lowered some of its fitness test standards for women and older soldiers in 2022:

• Reduced weight: Women must lift 20 pounds less in the dead lift than men to pass.
• Longer run time: Women and older soldiers get a minute or two longer to complete the run.
• Lower weight bar: Men older than 46 have a lower weight bar.
  

The Army made these changes after a RAND study found that men were passing the new Army Combat Fitness Test (ACFT) at a much higher rate than women and older soldiers. The ACFT is a six-event test that was developed in 2019. The changes were based on data and analysis, including an independent assessment required by Congress.


The ACFT was designed to provide gender-neutral physical standards based on different military occupational specialties. However, the new gender-normed test changed requirements and scoring tables. For example, the leg-tuck event was dropped.

You seriously need to read better.

 

[Politruk]

So where does Hegseth stand on women in combat?

 

[Politruk]

Were from an era when men were men and women were women.

Gee, our old LaSalle ran great!
