Former British Army commander has predictable response to women joining the infantry

Lifting the ban on women in combat roles will "drag our infantry to far below the required standard" and put people at greater risk of dying, according to a former SAS commander.

And of course both this commander and the journalist have missed the point entirely, it isn't because they're women that the standards are being lowered. It's because the people who are desperate to get women into the military have artificially lowered the standards themselves meaning any woman who gets in will inevitably end up being a drag on the unit no matter what simply because they didn't have to do the same training as everybody else.

It's fucking common sense really, if there are women who get in the army under normal circumstances and have done the same training as men then I can respect that, but what happens almost every fucking time is the politicians come in and start trying to interfere making them get in through quotas or some other bullshit to make themselves look good.

This is the classic problem with the left in particular who end up completely undermining equality due to their micro-managing of other peoples' lives thereby giving ammunition to any social conservatives lurking around who really do think women are totally inept at things in life. This is precisely why quotas and afirmitive action is an utter load of shit.
