Marines Delay Female Fitness Plan After Half Fail

95. Yep, it's all a conspiracy to keep women out of the army.

We used to fight with paper mache swords and armor.



Politicians don't need to carry a combat load to filibuster a bill. And internet posters don't need to actually do anything beyond touch a keyboard to disregard the laws of physics. So you had a notion about how to split the fighting load of a soldier to make the job easier and found out it was wrong. Sorry about that. But instead of simply realizing how little you know of the subject you give me a hard time for going to the trouble to educate both of us. If you had followed the link I was kind enough to find you would know exactly what each soldier carries into battle right down to his socks. It ain't much in the way of creature comforts I can tell you. You would also know a great deal of load sharing already occurs. All you had to do is briefly look at what I was kind enough to give you. You're welcome.

But you couldn't do any of that. Instead you whine about some conspiracy to create heavy things to keep women out of the military. Do you know what the heaviest piece of equipment a soldier has to take to battle? The knowledge that he or she will have to succeed or die trying no matter what. They know they can't simply disregard reality by typing some snark on a keyboard. They live in the real world.

Your reply is disgusting. If you knew anything about military history you'd know how many lives have been lost because soldiers were sent into battle even though they were unprepared and under equipped to fight. I hope whoever is CIC will have better sense to send troops into a meat grinder for some bullshit notion about gender roles that has no relationship to reality.
