I think the difference is in the specific role. Flying a plane (piloting a weapons system) makes sense, provided you don't blunt the edges of the training (SERE) or drop the physical standards. If she goes down behind enemy lines, she needs to have the best chance possible to get herself out (very possibly injured). The issue most people have is when you have a male and a female standard. Meaning that a male could perform better than a female, yet he fails and she's good enough. This isn't fair to him. If the ACTUAL requirement isn't that high the standard shouldn't be that high. If the standard SHOULD be that high, you're setting someone up for failure by allowing anyone in that can't meet the standards. The standards aren't exclusionary to be mean, they're that way to give the best chance to come out alive.
No one is suggesting removing women from military service. Just revert the standards to 1995, for combat, and give women their own ground combat units, if that is what they really want.

Simple. If a woman can pass the same fitness standard as men, let them in. If they can't send them packing. Having a separate test for women is proof they can't hack it.
That's certainly not the only qualification, but yeah, if you're QUALIFIED (meaning you can pass all the tests and training required for that job) you should be allowed a chance in. The problem is when you have one set of tests/training for females and a different set for males. It means you're either willing to send females into war physically ill-prepared, or that the standards don't REALLY matter and you just use them to weed out some males (since a male can perform better and be kicked out versus a female in the same unit)
I served, my son served. I have been encouraging my grandson to do ROTC in college. I am not so sure that was a good idea now. My grandson will not follow unlawful orders. I fear he might be court martial in the future. My granddaughter wants to be an FBI agent, I find it hard to encourage her, knowing what may happen in the future. As far as women shooters go my daughters can shoot better than me and my son.
Pentagon can’t take an audit but privatization isn’t the answer, Milley is right but the military shouldn’t come after immigrants or citizens either. If people only knew what I’ve been put through by Dod reject trolls

Really looking forward to seeing Mark Mill in an Orange jumpsuit being held accountable for his battlefield failures and seditious behavior as an officer
@@Michael-z5t3h yep, I agree. NO ONE would argue against women in combat provided they had to follow the same standards. They reduce the physical standards for females. It's literally different tests. Combat roles to most people mean that the human is part of an overall weapons system (for instance as a rifleman). That does have physical requirements, especially if you're a ground pounder. Same reason that you don't have overweight people given different standards. The standard is not based on the person, it's based on the purpose (the job).
The day that the average woman can pick up & carry at a run, a man the size of Lloyd Austin is the day women should be in active military battle - NOT until.
This is partisan political theater. We already can't meet our manpower requirements. The US military has struggled for years to meet its recruitment targets. There are many contributing factors, but at least for new junior enlisted, the larger societal trend of declining fitness and increasing obesity has been cited as a national security issue. If bros wanna pull women out of the military to varying degrees, that will put even more pressure on our already inadequate recruitment figures. So those manly men better hype their homies for some ruck marches and PT, because they've been spending way too much time parroting talking points in the comment sections and playing COD.
Anytime a President signed a Executive order. That order can be overturned by the next President. Some would prefer it go through Congress. Because then it's a law!!
The fact his first thought about women in combat roles is if they can shoots shows that he’s severely naive. If a 200lb man with 50lbs of gear gets hit with a bullet that woman who would be 5’4 168lbs on average would not be able to carry him to safety. We lower the military requirements for women just so they can pass. The military in combat is 90% the elements 10% fighting and women’s bodies aren’t as equipped to handle harsh temperatures well
@ a man whose 5’4 can probably pick up the 200lb man and drag him to safety. Men are physically superior. I just told you they lower the military requirements for women to pass so that woman passed for the lesser standards the male passed the male standard. Nice try tho
Two sets for almost all roles, one set for males and an easier set for females. I was in the AF and even our very low standards for males (laughably low, but we weren't operational/combat, we were grease monkeys) were adjusted down for females.
They lowered the standards, and forced the male candidates to carry their lightened ruck because their backs blew out faster than my last relationship.
I served 9 years and you'd be surprised how many women are more fit than men. 70% of the military are overweight, and the DoD spends $1.5B annually on unfit troops. I was a combatives instructor for my unit for a few years and firsthand watched and evaluated some women who absolutely demolished some of the men they had to compete against. I was also one of three instructors, one of them was a woman who ran the combatives program alongside me. Unfit people should NOT be on the front lines, period.
@@genjidora8742 Women are a distraction for young men who have to be completely focused on combat. Just the facts, can't change nature. A 100,000 Chinese, male only, combat team would destroy a DEI force.

Ukraine stands because man and woman are UNITED!. And thats a fact!. Look at Russian forces lost to Ukraine. Its not very fair for Russia 😂 ((Russia's military casualties, the officials said, are approaching 300,000. The number includes as many as 120,000 deaths and 170,000 to 180,000 injured troops. The Russian numbers dwarf the Ukrainian figures, which the officials put at close to 70,000 killed and 100,000 to 120,000 wounded))
The military cannot recruit enough soldiers, leaving half the population out of the picture makes the recruitment picture much worse. Of course, the draft can be reintroduced, that would solve the problem. And we know that the president elect fully supports the draft wiht all of his heart and bone spurs.
I was 1/9 FA back in the eighties. We were in the field in Germany in January. Single digit temps, and sleeping in a tent shared by two soldiers. I had to go to the Command tent for whatever reason and two of the lower ranking enlisted women were in there, all cozy with the officers and a pot belly stove.
@@LindaPeterson-f6p Says anyone, including me, that has been there and witnessed it. Everything physical or quantifiable in training/qualifications has a “standard”. A speed in which to finish (runs, obstacle courses,etc), a weight to carry (often also at a measured speed), all levels of precision that are measured (shooting, throwing grenades and how far and accurately they can be thrown) all the way down to how long you must be able to hang on a bar. Even how often you can be “recycled”. That’s how often and when during training/qualifying you can dropout/washout and be allowed to start the entire training course again. Any other questions?
@@jandrews6254 smaller men are still notably stronger and faster than 98% of the women and they have the same standards as the other men. The only standard reductions for men are for physical training tests and those have a small reduction for older age brackets.
This general is a liar and he knows it. Ask the female interviewing him to fireman carry him, even 3 feet. Ask any woman around to carry him far enough to get him out of a combat Zone. They can't period, much less with combat gear. Women are slow, and in combat speed kills. Not even mentioning unit cohesion, which is a major part of combat effectiveness. Finally look at the recruiting numbers. No man wants to serve alongside women in battle. They are significantly smaller, slower, weaker and in combat that actually matters.
Totally agree with you. When I was in the infantry I didn’t want anything to do with them being there with us. And neither did any of the guys I served with.
@@maresnite OR, his all male unit lives, and your mixed unit with females doesn't. And the first to get injured or shot is the weakest or the slowest. Which she is; especially weighed down with gear. You understand that there are physical differences between males and females, right???? You get that testosterone is LITERALLY a performance enhancing drug, and that all males have it in much higher degrees just naturally? This is really basic biology, and you can only be blind to this willfully.
Though I agree with what he said, the problem Gen. Miley isn't addressing is, from what I've been told, the military had to lower the standards to let women in. is this true?
Yes, when I was in there were two sets of standards. Didn't matter much where I was (aircraft maintenance), but for actual combat roles it's unconscionable to send someone in that doesn't meet the minimums since it endangers both them and everyone around them.
@@fallcolors05 You won't in the US military either. Not in combat / operational roles. You will see some people in worse shape in maintenance and other roles where it doesn't really matter, but even those roles (I was in one) have some standards. And even in those roles, the standards for females are easier than for males.
I hope MSNCB sees this text. I've watched Joe Scarborough and Mika Brezinski Monday through Friday on your station for years. I've now stopped. COWARDS!!!!!!
The problem the he fails to mention is the standards where in fact lowered for woman to make it into combat roles. As for trans, no you're not mentally fit to serve and on top of that due to all the medical issues that comes with the delusion you're not deployable most of the time which puts the burden on others causing shorter intervals between being sent down range.
Yep, I'm 100% with you on the trans thing. Too much medication, some of which impacts mood, too many problems. Serving in the military is a privilege, not a right. And they have the right to exclude anyone they want for any reason at all.

I'd really like General Milley to get into politics - such a great man 💙💙💙💙 the difference between him & the idiots the orange lunatic wants to put in charge of the military - a fricking fox tv WEEKEND host & only one of 3!!! 😡😡😡😡
Simple. If a woman can pass the same fitness standard as men, let them in. If they can't send them packing.
Having a separate test for women is proof they can't hack it.
Have you served?
But thats what they are all aiming for, rubble. Revenge tour.

The lighting makes her look like she has dark hair, she's always very classy, like a true lady 😍
This man is great! If you are qualified then you can do the job! The only qualification is human!
😂😂😂 Yes dont drop the standards for Females...
That's certainly not the only qualification, but yeah, if you're QUALIFIED (meaning you can pass all the tests and training required for that job) you should be allowed a chance in.
The problem is when you have one set of tests/training for females and a different set for males. It means you're either willing to send females into war physically ill-prepared, or that the standards don't REALLY matter and you just use them to weed out some males (since a male can perform better and be kicked out versus a female in the same unit)

I served, my son served. I have been encouraging my grandson to do ROTC in college. I am not so sure that was a good idea now. My grandson will not follow unlawful orders. I fear he might be court martial in the future. My granddaughter wants to be an FBI agent, I find it hard to encourage her, knowing what may happen in the future.
As far as women shooters go my daughters can shoot better than me and my son.
They're trying to protect their incubators😡.
Stop blaming the military thats total bs
Pentagon can’t take an audit but privatization isn’t the answer, Milley is right but the military shouldn’t come after immigrants or citizens either. If people only knew what I’ve been put through by Dod reject trolls
What a great show Stephanie! More please!😊
General Milley has my upmost respect.
A decent man full of Integrity.
That DT is intimidated by him is very telling.
calling China and telling them that you will let them know if Trump wants to attack is called treason! I guess you must be Chinese
Its been well studied. Women in combat do not make our military stronger or more lethal… which is in fact the only metric that matters
Thank you General 🇺🇸
Ask any ranger instructor at the Ranger school if the standards were lowered for women who attended the course?
Are women really fighting for the right to die at war? What a time to be alive!
Do something really good with the opportunity they have given you. That's how you say "thank you".
This lady has lots of class.

The gift that keeps on giving. Thankyou General Milley 🇺🇲 for your common sense and devades of Service. Your logic and reasoning will never fall.
Why did Trump win then? 😢
@johnward43 My comment was not political I voted for Trump twice. Im just a big fan of anyone who has served and Respect Milley Tremendously.
“Women have passed Ranger school” anyone even remotely familiar with the reality of that situation is rolling their eyes right now.
This clown is talking about women on submarines, ships and flying helicopters… None of those are combat arms jobs. This guy doesn’t know what he’s talking abou
Really looking forward to seeing Mark Mill in an Orange jumpsuit being held accountable for his battlefield failures and seditious behavior as an officer

@@winstonsmith8565
Trump's air strikes on Afghanistan grandma?
@@Michael-z5t3h yep, I agree. NO ONE would argue against women in combat provided they had to follow the same standards. They reduce the physical standards for females. It's literally different tests. Combat roles to most people mean that the human is part of an overall weapons system (for instance as a rifleman). That does have physical requirements, especially if you're a ground pounder. Same reason that you don't have overweight people given different standards.
The standard is not based on the person, it's based on the purpose (the job).
It’s always people that never served that have an opinion on this. I have a lot of women on my submarine and they make us a better team.
Remember this is the guy who said it was just cheaper to leave all that equipment in afghanistan.
Show your math that he was wrong.
The day that the average woman can pick up & carry at a run, a man the size of Lloyd Austin is the day women should be in active military battle - NOT until.
The day an average man can survive Ranger school is the day Satan will get to use ice skates. Siddown.
This is partisan political theater. We already can't meet our manpower requirements.
The US military has struggled for years to meet its recruitment targets. There are many contributing factors, but at least for new junior enlisted, the larger societal trend of declining fitness and increasing obesity has been cited as a national security issue.
If bros wanna pull women out of the military to varying degrees, that will put even more pressure on our already inadequate recruitment figures. So those manly men better hype their homies for some ruck marches and PT, because they've been spending way too much time parroting talking points in the comment sections and playing COD.
This guy should probably be in jail.
Love General Milley.
This is just another area they want to control women over. It's always been about control.
Anytime a President signed a Executive order. That order can be overturned by the next President. Some would prefer it go through Congress. Because then it's a law!!

Wonder what Tulsi gonna say😂😂
I'm sorry, I just don't trust a soldier that is not loyal or trustworthy.
The fact his first thought about women in combat roles is if they can shoots shows that he’s severely naive. If a 200lb man with 50lbs of gear gets hit with a bullet that woman who would be 5’4 168lbs on average would not be able to carry him to safety. We lower the military requirements for women just so they can pass. The military in combat is 90% the elements 10% fighting and women’s bodies aren’t as equipped to handle harsh temperatures well
Okay, but what about men who are 5’4” tall and women who are registered MMA fighters? That’s a specific example from my NG unit.
@ a man whose 5’4 can probably pick up the 200lb man and drag him to safety. Men are physically superior. I just told you they lower the military requirements for women to pass so that woman passed for the lesser standards the male passed the male standard. Nice try tho
How many standards are there?
Same for all, or adjusted for some?
Two sets for almost all roles, one set for males and an easier set for females. I was in the AF and even our very low standards for males (laughably low, but we weren't operational/combat, we were grease monkeys) were adjusted down for females.
Starting in January the American military catering to the mentally ill is over, and Milley had better lawyer up. 🤣
Yeah, A woman went to Ranger School.... and they had to lower the standards for her to graduate....
They lowered the standards, and forced the male candidates to carry their lightened ruck because their backs blew out faster than my last relationship.
You know who doesn't say that? Male rangers. And if you had been paying attention for the last ten years ... but you look nice in the camo.
Stephanie where were you when Joe and Mika turned to the dark side??
Comcast is ditching MSNBC. Comcast is flushing the toilet, finally.

Good interviews
Women should NOT be on the front lines.
I served 9 years and you'd be surprised how many women are more fit than men. 70% of the military are overweight, and the DoD spends $1.5B annually on unfit troops. I was a combatives instructor for my unit for a few years and firsthand watched and evaluated some women who absolutely demolished some of the men they had to compete against. I was also one of three instructors, one of them was a woman who ran the combatives program alongside me. Unfit people should NOT be on the front lines, period.
@@genjidora8742 Women are a distraction for young men who have to be completely focused on combat. Just the facts, can't change nature. A 100,000 Chinese, male only, combat team would destroy a DEI force.
Too bad Miley, Patton and MacArthur couldn't sit down and talk.
Are they not gonna discuss the previous abuses done in barracks under their watch. Or worse, how they are more susceptible to PTSD than their male counterparts, as a matter of fact, the earliest note of this is in WW2 among females in the Red Army.
Soon to be MSNBC contributor Milley.
Keep the standards high and not lower them for women. There’s a reason no woman tries to be a navy seal or special forces
Because they are not allowed - it’s fckn 2024 FFS!

The military cannot recruit enough soldiers, leaving half the population out of the picture makes the recruitment picture much worse. Of course, the draft can be reintroduced, that would solve the problem. And we know that the president elect fully supports the draft wiht all of his heart and bone spurs.
Pretty dumb to think a country can have a successful military by recruiting DEI woman. 😂😂😂😂😂
I was 1/9 FA back in the eighties. We were in the field in Germany in January. Single digit temps, and sleeping in a tent shared by two soldiers. I had to go to the Command tent for whatever reason and two of the lower ranking enlisted women were in there, all cozy with the officers and a pot belly stove.
That’s a “morals and ethics in uniform” problem, not a women in uniform problem.
He said it, “If you meet the standards…” but THAT is the problem. Women have lower standards Across the Board.
Said who?
What happens to small men of lighter frame?
@@LindaPeterson-f6p Says anyone, including me, that has been there and witnessed it. Everything physical or quantifiable in training/qualifications has a “standard”. A speed in which to finish (runs, obstacle courses,etc), a weight to carry (often also at a measured speed), all levels of precision that are measured (shooting, throwing grenades and how far and accurately they can be thrown) all the way down to how long you must be able to hang on a bar. Even how often you can be “recycled”. That’s how often and when during training/qualifying you can dropout/washout and be allowed to start the entire training course again.
Any other questions?
@@jandrews6254 smaller men are still notably stronger and faster than 98% of the women and they have the same standards as the other men. The only standard reductions for men are for physical training tests and those have a small reduction for older age brackets.
If it wasn't for 'lower standards'... all you knuckle-dragger dudes wouldn't have a dating history.😂
Historian fits his well, General nope

Interesting combo of old school and open minded. 🤔
You wonder how it is possible that humanity survived so long without women in war?
Humans likely survived by keeping women out of combat. Repopulation takes many more women than men.
There are plenty of women who went to war in history.
Trump is Coming Milley
This general is a liar and he knows it. Ask the female interviewing him to fireman carry him, even 3 feet. Ask any woman around to carry him far enough to get him out of a combat Zone. They can't period, much less with combat gear. Women are slow, and in combat speed kills. Not even mentioning unit cohesion, which is a major part of combat effectiveness. Finally look at the recruiting numbers. No man wants to serve alongside women in battle. They are significantly smaller, slower, weaker and in combat that actually matters.
Misogyny lives! Your opinion matters not.
😂😂😂 lol. Sure keyboard warrior. Please trollsplain to Soldiers and veterans what is actually like to serve and be in combat.
@@maresnite Nothing I said is misogynistic. Everything I said was factual.
Totally agree with you. When I was in the infantry I didn’t want anything to do with them being there with us. And neither did any of the guys I served with.
@@maresnite OR, his all male unit lives, and your mixed unit with females doesn't. And the first to get injured or shot is the weakest or the slowest. Which she is; especially weighed down with gear.
You understand that there are physical differences between males and females, right???? You get that testosterone is LITERALLY a performance enhancing drug, and that all males have it in much higher degrees just naturally? This is really basic biology, and you can only be blind to this willfully.
Though I agree with what he said, the problem Gen. Miley isn't addressing is, from what I've been told, the military had to lower the standards to let women in. is this true?
yes
Hello, put a fit, smart, educated woman next to a couch-potato, dr phil-watching man . . . . you don't need to be male to be strong.
@@teej-h7w .. i think we wont see couch potato from opposite military .. 🤡
Yes, when I was in there were two sets of standards. Didn't matter much where I was (aircraft maintenance), but for actual combat roles it's unconscionable to send someone in that doesn't meet the minimums since it endangers both them and everyone around them.
@@fallcolors05 You won't in the US military either. Not in combat / operational roles. You will see some people in worse shape in maintenance and other roles where it doesn't really matter, but even those roles (I was in one) have some standards.
And even in those roles, the standards for females are easier than for males.
I hope MSNCB sees this text. I've watched Joe Scarborough and Mika Brezinski Monday through Friday on your station for years. I've now stopped. COWARDS!!!!!!
The problem the he fails to mention is the standards where in fact lowered for woman to make it into combat roles. As for trans, no you're not mentally fit to serve and on top of that due to all the medical issues that comes with the delusion you're not deployable most of the time which puts the burden on others causing shorter intervals between being sent down range.
Yep, I'm 100% with you on the trans thing. Too much medication, some of which impacts mood, too many problems. Serving in the military is a privilege, not a right. And they have the right to exclude anyone they want for any reason at all.
