@@lynnswanson7591 Austin. All he's ever been is a desk soldier. He has never held a rifle, gotten shot at, nothing. He's never served in a combat zone where he had an enemy trying to take him out.
Women in combat is fine but having women in infantry and other combats units with lower physical standards is not acceptable. For examples when I was in men had to be able to perform a minimum of 42 pushups and women had to do a minimum amount of 12. Obviously in a combat situation strength and speed matter. So make the standards the same for men and women and then everything will be fine. Soldiers on the front lines need to be able to pick up their buddy and carry them away in a life or death situation, this is hardly an unreasonable ask.
If they are up to combat then why do we not have equal standards for women in the military? Equal physical fitness standards, equal grooming standards, equal height and weight standards.
@NANA-lq5md they changed two portions of the Marines testing in obstacles both pertaining to upper body strength so that they could get them trust me I was there. Any other Jarhead with my MOS knows females cannot do it and to allow it is not only insane but will get people killed. If you are 0311 you have to be male in my opinion. It's not just women though it's that fat farm as well. The fat farm is for men that can't make it physically to become a Marine they give them a special little club even those standards have been lowered
@@robertjohnson2899 I was there as well, I was an 0331/0317. As I said I knew a few WM's that could pass the minimums, I say again the MINIMUMS. I never saw a single female capable of getting a 300 with the male requirements b
I wouldn’t send a Man into combat like it’s a video game. War is the Devil’s Game. The trauma,loss and horrors he will face will plague and haunt him for the rest of his life. Ask any combat veteran who’s been in the trenches with the proverbial “Damocles Sword” hanging over his head knowing at any moment he could be next but the mission must be accomplished. And he’s not alone there are Men fighting in those combat zones right beside him watching each others back hoping everyone makes it knowing they might not. Be careful what you ask for Ladies you might not be prepared to deal with what you get. 🫡🫡🫡 to all our Veterans.
ABC hasn't taken a pause on supporting DEI. Lloyd Austin can't leave fast enough. It's this position, which ABC of course is supporting, is why they were fired on November 5th!
I never served, but at 40 years old I can carry my 160lb wife on one shoulder with one arm for 5 miles as well as bend down and pick things up while having her on my shoulder like a barrel with my one arm holding her keeping her on my shoulder. Not piggy back, not two arms none of that. and I can do that for hours without a break. show me a woman who can do that? I am strong not like body builder big. Women NEED to pass the same requirements as men. When you lower the requirements for women you are putting service men and women in harms way.
Pete didn’t say that women don’t bring value, they can bring value in supporting roles. Not combat. Let the men do their work without distractions! Women don’t have to do everything men do! Physically, women are the weaker vessel and that’s fine. Simply put there are things men do better, some things women do better, combat is not one of them.
Women on the front line just complicates everything enormously and adds a dimension of distraction for all. WHY? To be an equal opportunity employer? WTF!
Not an expert on anything military by far. But if it's true they lower the standards for women to qualify for certain duties in the Military, isn't that proof that the Military itself, to include Lloyd "The Turd" Austin, thinks that women aren't as capable as men in certain areas?
They do the same thing for dei hires all over the military. This was tried decades ago and they had women flyers crashing and killing themselves so they stopped that program real quick. When they investigated they found two branches of the military were basically lowering standards for women to pass qualifications testing . They couldn’t perform at the same level of their male counterparts. And now it has deteriorated even more because now they do it for race and gender. The Tuskegee airmen didn’t have the bar lowered for them did they? But 85 years later we have to lower the bar for minorities and women so they can hit whatever numbers the woke policies have imagined they want in the flyers seat ?
General Austin, who Senator McCain famously asked how many Afghan men were trained with a $500,000,000 budget and General Austin replied a total of 6!😂🤣 It’s on video, look it up! Yup, some folks fail up!
Define Combat and war makes bad decisions into unlivable outcome, POW for women after what Palestinians terrorists did to female hostages they serve better in support roles.
Filling support roles to women burdens males with the combat roles. I remember high percentages of women got pregnant when their deployment times approached burdening men with the extra billets to fill. Did you not see this on your military deployments?
So when are we going to make women sign up for selective service in order to vote and get government tuition aid? Becuase the reason given for not making it mandatory when women were given the right to vote was that they couldn't be drafted due to not being allowed in combat roles.
Lloyd Austin NEVER served in combat. He has always been a professional desk jockey, sending others into combat zones but never risking his own life getting shot at. Real easy to make decisions on this matter when all he's ever done is talk the talk and never walked the walk himself.
Equal rights means equal responsibilities. Women should be included in selective service (the draft) as well as in standard combat roles. They should also meet the same physical standards as males. People who cannot meet standards should not be in the military. I'm a vet with 21 years and 741 days deployed.
“pretty good” does not sound like a resounding endorsement. ABC then characterizes it as “impassioned “ and strong endorsement. Great journalistic reporting.
women in the police department cannot even take a driver out of his car, also try chasing a black teen after running from a stolen car, they never catch them....women in the military are a joke....unless you are a nurse....
Glad we won’t be seeing him much longer. Yes women service members should be valued. They are without a doubt a huge part of what makes the US military great but if standards have to be lowered to get them in combat units that makes that unit weaker.
You would think he would do his homework on who is replacing him so he brief concerns. It shows a continued lack of situational awareness of not just all Service Members but his actual replacement.
"Out, out, brief candle! Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player, That struts and frets his hour upon the stage, And then is heard no more. It is a tale Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing."
All standards should be high and equal. If a woman can keep up then it may be possible, but that will be 1 in 10,000. Good luck. But there are so many other challenges besides mere physical standards. All considered women in combat or in the field is a bad idea.

Women in combat are amazing. Ever since the Soviets we've known that women are are excellent marksmen. However, we need to protect our women when they serve.
Women are not “amazing” in combat. Stop believing the “news” pundits. Women are not good in combat for the same reason they’re not in the NBA/NFL/MLB/Fire Dept./SWAT Team or any other physically demanding field. They slow down operational efficiency.
And the blue hat has hatred for real women by mens mansplaining trans pretending to be women. And the blue hat hates veterans. Oh I bet you are not a vet either, like me a real combat vet. Clown
How about talk about military things, like how they've escalated the Russia / Ukraine war by allowing Ukraine to us missiles and mines in last few days and put us on the brink of WW 3?
UNTIL THE ENEMY CAPTURES A WOMAN...NO WAY IN THE INFANTRY
I'm a combat veteran. A tanker. And we spent weeks in filth, exhausted and so hot in the desert. Most who were getting evacuated were women!😂
Thanks for speaking the truth and commonsense. Austin is being misleading - as usual.
Women don't grape. And with guns, no need for physical strength. That's exactly what society needs 😂 we dont need anymore maele violence 😂😂😂

Women in the military absolutely. Women in infantry positions ABSOLUTELY NOT. NOT ONE has EVER passed the Marines male testing.
