The language isn&#8217;t very reassuring;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>TRADOC has started a scientific review working with U.S. Army Medical Command, U.S. Army Research Institute for Environmental Medicine and Army Research Institute to assist in the development of gender-neutral physical standards for all Areas of Concentration for commissioned officers and military occupational specialties for enlisted soldiers.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Yeah, well, see, they don&#8217;t need to develop &#8220;gender-neutral&#8221; standards &#8211; those standards already exist. That&#8217;s just a fancy way of saying that they&#8217;re lowering the standards so they can happily report to their political masters (who know nothing about combat) that, unsurprisingly, females are meeting the new standard for combat-related jobs.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Army officials will submit the service\u2019s strategy for conducting these efforts to Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel on Wednesday to satisfy the May 15 deadline for the services to present how they will fully integrate women into combat arms units by 2016, said Army spokesman Lt. Col. Stephen Platt.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>So, with sex scandals popping everywhere in the force, they&#8217;re going full-steam ahead with integration of the sexes in every field despite growing evidence that it&#8217;s damaging to readiness, because the social experiment is much more important that combat readiness.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Some of the jobs being reviewed are infantryman, Special Forces officer, cavalry scout and armor senior sergeant.<\/p>\n<p>But this does not mean the Army has decided to open these jobs to women yet.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Army will review these MOSs and make a recommendation to the secretary of Defense if they should remain closed,\u201d Platt said. \u201cIf we find that the assignment of women to specific positions or occupational specialties is in conflict with the department\u2019s guiding principles, exceptions to policy will be requested, which will prohibit their assignment to certain jobs.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Do you seriously think that the social engineers will accept the Army&#8217;s decision to prevent women from serving in those career fields? Seriously? The hue and cry will break windows from the Pentagon to the Capitol. Don&#8217;t piss on my boots and tell me it&#8217;s raining.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jack sends us a link to Military.com about the Army&#8217;s plan to begin integrating women into &hellip; <a title=\"Army&#8217;s plan for women in combat submitted\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=35647\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Army&#8217;s plan for women in combat submitted<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[198],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-35647","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-big-army"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/35647","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=35647"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/35647\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=35647"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=35647"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=35647"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
