Bloomberg News<\/a> reports that “officials” from each military branch promised Congress today that they’re going to open up all occupational specialties to female members of their service by 2016 “without lowering the standards”;<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re not going to lower standards,\u201d said Juliet Beyler, the Defense Department\u2019s director of officer and enlisted personnel management. \u201cIt\u2019s not a matter of lowering or raising standards. The key is to validate the standard to make sure it\u2019s the right standard for the occupation.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

So I did a Vulcan mind meld with Juliet and discovered that she is going advocate lowering the performance standards and call that a “validated standard”. Um, Juliet, we’re not stupid, we can all read English, FFS. But, that’s fine, I hope you can sleep at night after your “validated standard” costs lives.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m real excited to get this done,\u201d said Representative Loretta Sanchez, a California Democrat, who described the task as providing equal opportunity for women. \u201cCombat performance is an important issue when people are looking at moving up in all of these organizations.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

So, Loretta, you’ll be enlisting – you’re just that excited? I don’t see any of the women who are “excited” about this and the new lower standards being the ladies who are going to place themselves in danger – they’re all a bunch of old hags who will cluck about the failures that result from the implementation and integration and blame men instead of nature. when i see Loretta Sanchez and Juliet Beyler humping a ruck in the EIB road march or leading a squad on a live fire maneuver range, then I’ll believe they’re excited. Until such event, I’ll chalk it all up to political blather.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
