The teammates that ended up having trouble and needing help on exercises like the pull-up bars and the rope climb were overwhelming the women. Of course, the yelling I heard was very mild. Something as straightforward as that women recruits seem more prone to develop, say, shin splints on the longer unit marches. You're not even really saying anything negative about women because it's the brass that have created this situation. I don't blame any of the women for succumbing to a recruiter's pitch.
Recruiters are very, very persistent and the military offers young people a really good deal.
The people at fault here are Congress and the brass. I think we should start throwing out people who are really physically unfit. The brass have decided that this is their most important mandate, and they're going to achieve it. Everybody's very afraid of being labeled anti-woman, misogynist, sexist. We're going to pick the best person for the job, and we are not going to have any more quotas.
