Destroying the military —PURPOSELY Female Marines not required to do one pullup

(CNSNews.com) -- Females in the Marine Corps currently are not required to do even a single pull-up, and a deadline mandating that by Jan. 1, 2014, they be able to do at least 3 pull-ups as part of their training has been delayed for at least a year, the Corps quietly announced on social media.
Unlike their female counterparts, male Marines have long been required to do at least 3 pullups as part of the Physical Fitness Test (PFT). That's the minimum requirement for males.

So even the Marines will just change the rules again to make sure females can not fail to get into ground combat roles where they can not succeed. Once again, the only way to make PT standards gender neutral is to use the lowest female standards for everyone. Eventually that will happen.

When is the last time a program for men was suspended because they could not perform the tasks adequately?

The Joint Chiefs of Staff “agreed” to this nonsense of women in combat. These careerists have devolved into just another politically correct Federal bureaucracy rather than a council of warriors dedicated to the nation’s defense.

Well, it’s a good thing that today’s Marines will never need to carry a wounded comrade to safety, or run several hundred meters carrying the belt-fed machine gun and a couple of hundred rounds of ammo, or anything else that requires upper-body strength.
