"https://eu.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2025/04/03/hegseth-fitness-tests-women-in-combat/82754367007/ Pete Hegseth (United States secretary of defense) is anti women in combat roles. He has mandated that fitness tests are made "sex-neutral" within 60 days. Is this a wonderful step towards meritocracy, or is he just trying to get the US to follow the Taliban in the erasure of women from public life and positions of power? What is his motivation - "lethality" of soldiers, or some underlying moral issue? " Is he suggesting raising the womans test to match the men's or lowering the men's requirements to match the women? I assuming there's a physical requirement already in place for both men and woman already. Without giving it to much thought I do think the standards should be the same for the same role, no matter the sex of tge person performing it, Mrs x | |||

"Maybe the fool should look how the Russian women fought in the Russian army during ww2!" Yes and modern warfare is probably less physical and more technical. | |||

"Maybe the fool should look how the Russian women fought in the Russian army during ww2! Yes and modern warfare is probably less physical and more technical." I may be wrong but I don't think the Russians had a ww1 or ww2, and on another note the basic training for any of the services is a lot more physical than it was back in the day and the kit weighs more for one. | |||

"Warfare is changing. The Falklands was won with Royal Marines and Paras yomping across the entire island with 35Kg packs and then engaging in a brutal firefight. That wouldn't happen now. It's all about drones and aerial attacks. Women can do that job as effectively as men." yes your absolutely spot on. | |||
