85 Percent Of Female Marine Recruits Flunking Out Of New Combat Tests

I'm a soldier and I'm okay with this.

I have no problem having a woman in a combat job, so long as she meets the same standards for that job as the men. If you she can lift a 100 pound artillery shell over her head, if she can drag a 200 pound body to safety, and she can wrestle a grown man to the ground and choke him out... and she wants to do all those things... hell yeah, more power to her. I'd be proud to serve next to her.

See, that's equality.

Lowering the standards so that more women can take those jobs, just to have more women isn't equality. That's favoritism.

WickedTriggered · 2016-06-26T07:47:43+00:00

Women in combat is all well and good but being able to drag a 185 pound guy to safety requires a bit more than a progressive attitude.

Cespur · 2016-06-26T13:21:17+00:00

I don't see any problem with women joining the same jobs as men, as long as they fulfill the same standards. If they can pass the exams, welcome. If not, fuck off. No double standards.

matrix2002 · 2016-06-26T14:07:37+00:00

This is the least surprising result ever.

There are a few exceptional women who can handle the same physical load as a slightly above average man, but they are far and few between.

To say otherwise is just lunacy.

boarlizard · 2016-06-26T15:51:11+00:00

When I was in the fire academy we had women in training who had the delusions of "women can do anything men can do!" They had drastically different physical requirements then us, 15 minutes to complete their firefighter combat course (with water brakes) to our 5 minutes, not to mention the special treatment they got for all the other physical trials as well at their PT requirements. Even with all the physical free passes, only one of the 5 girls actually graduated, and she barely passed. How can they expect you to trust your life in the hands of a woman who cant drag a 100 pound dummy down a flight of stairs without crying?

Mustaka · 2016-06-26T14:19:55+00:00

I think we should have an all female infantry regiment. Every single member of the unit. From the cooks to the colonel.

Now that would be a reality show I would watch the shit out of.

Daedelous2k · 2016-06-26T12:13:37+00:00

Can't help the fact that men are genetically by average stronger and bulkier.

Never231 · 2016-06-26T09:29:14+00:00

Don't get how this is really PPD. The tests serve a purpose. Everybody knows that females are not as strong/fast as males. Shouldn't the ones that pass be allowed in? Isn't that the point of the test? This is just equality. Don't see anyone complaining about them failing.

TommyGoGo1234 · 2016-06-26T14:09:17+00:00

So only accept 15% of them. What's the problem here?

Bruiko · 2016-06-26T12:45:10+00:00

To help facilitate this switch, all Marines will participate in “unconscious bias” training, in order to eliminate prejudice against women.

da fuck

Dionysus24779 · 2016-06-26T15:12:21+00:00

Obviously these combat tests are sexists towards women and unfairly put men at an advantage. /s

In other news... Her kevlar cover looks like fucking shit

vradic · 2016-06-26T15:05:48+00:00

Every one jumping on that creepy bandwagon fanclub about these guys serving thier country. Sorry kids, my boys and I did it for ourselves, for the paycheck, and our futures. Sure as hell didn't do it to impress you.

Sup909 · 2016-06-26T12:04:16+00:00

If you are a businessman, and your partner can buy you 2 different kind of the material you need, only that one after being worked on has an 97% success rate while the other has a 15% success rate, which material should you order to maximize your money? I know that government are not business, but honestly, training women is quite a waste of resources with a 85% failure rate.

Theeeantifeminist · 2016-06-26T16:29:19+00:00

women in combat positions is like a child playing chicken with her parents with regards to doing something bad. she knows it's bad and she'll probably get hurt and her parents won't let her do it. she keeps acting like she wants to do it but deep down, she doesn't. so now the marines created a test that will keep women out of frontline combat roles so now they can keep saying it's due to sexism. based on how much women already complain, if they were to ever be in the front lines and come back, how much would we have to hear them cry about ptsd? they get ptsd from someone saying something to them apparently. what's going to happen if they get shot or see someone get blown up? the river of tears will never end.

Shaelyr · 2016-06-26T22:02:20+00:00

Can I ask why this is something to mock women about? At least they're trying, they want to serve. The 15% who pass will be good soldiers. And kudos to the ones who tried.

Goodis · 2016-06-27T00:50:38+00:00

I have a friend in Sweden who was with the army for a year, he told me the girls, even though they passed the strength tests to join the army, sometimes couldn't handle the pressure and from time to time had the guys carry their backpacks for them, and in some rare cases even carry them.

In a real life threatening situation they would have been more of a danger than help for the squad.

Eab543 · 2016-06-28T21:10:00+00:00

That 15 percent must be beasts.

2016-07-01T16:29:55+00:00

In some ways I support this, in some ways I don't. I think a frontline combatant should meet these qualifications, but I think that there can be combat roles that aren't exactly front line.

Russian and Korean female snipers are pretty famous for getting the job done, but didn't need to be carrying hundreds of pounds of gear.

Kuftubby · 2016-06-26T14:07:57+00:00

You guys have to be fucking kidding me. How is this "pussy pass denied" these women wanted an equal chance to serve their country, they attempted and failed. Simple as that.

We should be happy people of both genders want to serve the country and we are giving them equal chances.

peterqub · 2016-06-26T15:02:40+00:00

When I was still in the Marines, most of the female Marines were against women in combat. Our way of looking at it was if you can do the job it doesn't matter what gender you were.

2016-06-26T19:00:17+00:00

Don't worry. They'll whine, bitch, and moan until women get easier physical and combat requirements. Then- they'll be the ones responsible for the deaths of their brothers and sisters in arms due to being unable to perform the job's required duties.

That's how it happens in other workplaces, but less extreme.

smookykins · 2016-06-26T18:21:45+00:00

Well, then, just lower the standards! That won't have an effect on the safety of troops and the effectiveness of combat operations at all!

BracedPolecat · 2016-06-26T17:49:13+00:00

I wouldn't say its a denied thing seeing how they been given the chance and they couldn't meet the standards required.

Nickerdos · 2016-06-26T19:34:37+00:00

Thats 15% more female combat troops than we previously had in the Marines. I don't see the problem here...

mcotter12 · 2016-06-26T20:18:35+00:00

Article fails to mention that six women have attempted the test, and 1 passed, or that this is the first time women have been eligible to attempt the test.

What I'm trying to say is it is a shit article.

the_denizen · 2016-06-26T20:24:44+00:00

The enemy's not going to shoot at you less because of your gender. By that token, training for females should be exactly as tough as the men's. Further, if you're a bonafide Valkyrie bitch and you want to be in the marines, you need to be willing to go beyond what is expected, to shatter those prejudices that are already in place. Yeah, I wish you didn't have to, but by doing so, you're one of the hardest women on earth. And, at risk of sounding like a pig, several men appreciate a woman who can kill them a dozen ways with their bare hands.

Skullpuck · 2016-06-27T00:16:00+00:00

There's always the Army.

fancycat · 2016-06-27T01:28:09+00:00

Anyone know what the actual fitness requirements are? I'm having trouble finding it on the marines website.

ImOP_need_nerf · 2016-06-27T07:24:08+00:00

combat tests, which include pullups, a three-mile run and other difficult tasks

If these are difficult tasks you should really reconsider your career path.

nsfw comment:

Guys, i was watching a porn in which the white girl was getting pounded by this black dude...and i don't mean pounded really...i mean he was getting to know what her guts felt like. So anyway, this chick kept moaning and yelling "yeah fuck that little cunt nigga!"...repeatedly. He just kept going, still, i went from really into it to...wait a minute...is this ok? The dude just kept going, no change of pace or expression...i mean...wtf was that about...so weird. What do you guys make of this?

ilikebourbon11 · 2016-06-26T07:28:11+00:00

What the male passing rate? I'm sure it's not exactly high either.

intarwebzWINNAR · 2016-06-26T09:17:47+00:00

Dragging a 185lb pound isn't all the job demands, i honestly think woman should serve in combat (especially if there's a mandatory draft), but perhaps should be given roles such as field medic, sniper, maintenance, scouting, support, communications, etc. I'm also not against women getting more PT and more protein to catch them up. Man have the natural advantage in strength, no matter how many "independent woman" Beyoncé ballads come out. I have seen some women on Tinder put that they're US Army and look petite as fuck. I met one in Orlando in the service who was 5'2", 100lbs, and cute as all fuck. She was smart, funny, and with worldly experience, but I didn't want to imagine being dragged in to a Humvee by someone who doesn't even look like they can carry the 45lbs of equipment.

Edit: You can all suck a dick and die by ISIS's hands. I didn't say send tiny bitches to war and praise equality, I said throw them in the gym with steaks and beef them up before risking lives. All you liberal retards can't understand that. Downvote me, but I hope you all die repeatedly in CoD because known of you pansies served two tours like me. US Air Force for life.

thatgoodfeelin · 2016-06-26T13:21:23+00:00

They should just clone Ronda rousy. Cocky, buff, aggressive, and can take a couple hits before being taken down. She has my vote.

bmoreoriginal · 2016-06-26T13:27:05+00:00

I knew men were better than women but wow what a disparity. Men failure rate: 2.7% Women failure rate: 85.7% They really just need to stay their ass in the kitchen.

ColonelSanders_1930 · 2016-06-26T11:10:58+00:00

Why is this in this sub? I respect women who want to fight for this country. That's more than what 95 percent of the sad cucks on here will ever amount to. You're not going to pass those physical tests when your fat ass weighs 250 lbs and you're covered in a mixture of cheeto dust, mountain dew, and pizza grease

Edit: To the mod who added my flair good luck moving out of your mom's basement. You can only dream to be as successful as crooked Hillary Clinton. But at least you enjoy watching your SO get blow jobs from strange women

2016-06-26T16:58:28+00:00

That's good?... This sub is petty at times

Calamity_Jay · 2016-06-26T16:07:34+00:00

I should take a moment to remind everyone that the test group was made of seven individuals. One passed. Six failed.

That's bad science. You need much larger sample sizes for good science.
