Summary

Since all branches of the military are facing a Jan. 1st 2016 deadline to open all combat roles to women. US Marines test all male squads vs mixed gender ones. All male squads perform better in 93 of 134 tasks.

All-male teams were universally faster in each tactical movement.

Body

The Marines conducted this year long test because they knew woman are less capable at combat than males but since common sense is misogynist they had to spend $36 MILLION of tax-payer money to prove it to the SJW and the pushover betas down in washington. Here I've put some of the results none of which favored integration.

  • All-male squads and teams outperformed those that included women on 69 percent of the 134 ground combat tasks evaluated.
  • All-male squads in every infantry job were faster than mixed-gender squads in each tactical movement evaluated. The differences between the teams were most pronounced in crew-served weapons teams. Those teams had to carry weapons and ammunition in addition to their individual combat loads.
  • Male Marines with no formal infantry training outperformed infantry-trained women on each weapons system, at levels ranging from 11 to 16 percentage points.
  • Officials also noted that there were tasks female Marines routinely struggled with that posed no similar challenge to their male counterparts.
  • In anaerobic power and capacity, female Marines averaged 15 percent lower levels than their male counterparts. In anaerobic power performance, the top 25 percent of female performers and the bottom 25 percent of male performers overlapped.
  • Researchers found that female ITB participants were injured at more than six times the rate of male participants, and nearly one-third of their injuries occurred during movement-under-load tasks, while just 13 percent of male injuries did.
  • Overall, women graduated ITB with a 36 percent success rate during the evaluation period. Male Marines had a 99 percent graduation rate during that same window.

When asked about the results, Col. Anne Weinberg, left her military education and common sense behind and starts hamstering for her gender replying:

it was important to note that the experiment only evaluated the performance of mixed-gender teams under current conditions. It was a measurement, she said, of how well average female Marines were doing today, not how well they could perform under ideal circumstances and with better training.

Paul Johnson, the principal investigator for the integration experiment, had no such reservations. When asked

"What are the traits of this gender that were able to perform well?" Johnson said. "The honest answer is, we were not able to find that."

I hope the Marines recieve the exemption they are hoping for. As the article so eloquently states

A military unit at maximum combat effectiveness is a military unit least likely to suffer casualties. Winning in war is often only a matter of inches, and unnecessary distraction or any dilution of the combat effectiveness puts the mission and lives in jeopardy. Risking the lives of a military unit in combat to provide career opportunities or accommodate the personal desires or interests of an individual, or group of individuals, is more than bad military judgment. It is morally wrong.


Lesson RE-learned

  • Feelz over Realz once again. Mary Kate Cunningham, a spokeswoman for the coalition No Exceptions, told Marine Corps Times in an earlier interview that no findings from the task force would change the group's position that female troops should be allowed in every job.
  • The SJWs who I'm sure themselves have no interest in joining the armed forces and fighting for our country want them to allow women to join despite the fact that objectively women are weaker and slower than men. They would rather risk US soliders just so they FEEL empowered and EQUAL despite the fact that the evidence points to the contrary. Boy if I was in the armed forces and had to have my squad integrated I would be pissed.
