Data collected during a months-long experiment showed Marine teams with female members performed at lower overall levels, completed tasks more slowly and fired weapons with less accuracy than their all-male counterparts. In addition, female Marines sustained significantly higher injury rates and demonstrated lower levels of physical performance capacity overall, officials said.<\/p>\n
[…]<\/p>\n
While the experiment was closely controlled, there was a key experience gap: Many male task force volunteers came from combat units where they had previously served, while female volunteers came directly from infantry schools or from noncombat jobs. One task force unit, a provisional rifle platoon, attempted to mitigate this problem by comparing the performance of male and female troops who received no formal infantry training.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
It’s funny, but many times we got male soldiers in our infantry units who were fresh from infantry school or came from non-infantry jobs and the units’ performance didn’t suffer as a result. But, hey, that’s just my experience. I’m sure that the results of this study won’t convince anyone who already has their mind set on the outcome of these experiments. <\/p>\n
I’m sure it can all be fixed by changing the standards, or by properly immersing male infantry soldiers in some sort of mind-altering touchy-feely training devised by a bunch of people who have never, nor will they ever, hear a weapon fired in anger.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
