I don't understand how women are fighting for EUALITY and having the same standards as men when they want special treatment at the same time. If men are required to do 20 pull ups, women should do the same. I'm just saying....

Funny how some people think you don't need to be fit to fly a jet fighter. You actually need muscle tone to keep the blood from draining from your brain and into your feet or else you'll pass out. All types of scenarios can play out.... What if you need to eject out of your fighter jet and resort to brute strength to stay alive behind enemy lines????

LOL a country that wins with cowardly acts like dropping bombs and using drones is complaining about women not being able to pull them out of a ditch?
Stick your neck out there for a day, then come back and post about being cowardly.

Bro, I was in tears during this scene. The way he kept emphasizing all of his weight had me
this reminds me of the scene from This is the End
David Krumholtz: Jay! I can't hold on much longer. You have to reach out and grab me, you hear?
Jay Baruchel: Okay, uh, you take my hand and I'll swing you up!
David Krumholtz: You sure? I'm going to give you my whole weight.
Jay Baruchel: I'm gonna reach for you alright?
David Krumholtz: Are you sure you can do it?
Jay Baruchel: I can grab you. On three. One, two, three!
[They grab hands]
David Krumholtz: I'm gonna swing across!
Jay Baruchel: I got you buddy.
David Krumholtz: You're going to hold my weight, all of it.
Jay Baruchel: Okay! Come on!
David Krumholtz: You can hold on to my full weight?
Jay Baruchel: I can do it!
David Krumholtz: I don't want to die.
Jay Baruchel: One, two, three!
[Jay lets go and David falls to his death]

i think the military wants you somewhat versed in all areas as a prerequisite. Cus you never know when a need will arise, what situations can present themselves where a sniper gotta duke it out, hand to hand. Shortages can occur too where a team gets reassigned and should at least have the basics down. It comes down to wanting a team of swiss army knives verses a team of individual tools.

Seriously....what an ignorant dumb comment that dude made. So everyone else is throwing rocks and fists? LOL.
True story the US is the only country that uses explosives in combat
But you can't proclaim the difficulty in something that you've never done...all I'm saying.
A lot of people see it as "driving in a circle 200 times" but there's a lot more to it than that.

well you know that females in the Marines arent required to do pull ups right?
They do a different exercise that is still pretty tough in its own right.
And to be fair, in boot camp I could only do 4 pull ups, which I got up to 15 by the time I got to the fleet. Boot camp isnt about PT, we only PT'ed probably 8-9 times the whole 13 weeks

lol i never said that, I did say that the U.S. avoids "face to face" combat as much as possible. We have more bombs than any other country, hence our advantage.
Dude tryna compare molotovs to B52 bombers....good try.
The U.S. advantage is NOT in the fact that we have stronger soldiers, it's because we have better bombs, better planes, better technology, etc
I mean, are people rly denying this?
Brah...who's the one flying those planes and dropping those bombs....soldiers.
Yah gotta be kidding me with that mentality.
If women aren't fit enough to be in the military (mentally and physically) then they're not fit. But hats off to those women who do make it through boot camp and become soldiers.

the article is soooo misleading too, mostly because female Marines at NO POINT have ever been required to do a pull up, until just recently when the Marine Corps decided to see if they wanted to implement pullups in to the PFT requirements for females.
MORE THAN HALF OF FEMALE MARINES CAN'T DO MORE THAN 3 PULL-UPS.....everyone cosigns based on their prejudices.
So basically they're being told, get up on that bar and do something that you've never been required to do before in your life.
Prior to the changes, female Marines were required to do an exercise that required them to hold themselves with their chin above the pullup bar for 70 seconds. Most male Marines that I've seen (even the 20 pullup guys) cant do it for more than 30

Quit back peddling. You said that "the U.S. wins with cowardly acts like dropping bombs". Countries have been dropping bombs for several decades. Maybe you don't remember WWII. Or maybe you didn't pay attention in school. But saying the U.S. dropping bombs is cowardly when everyone is doing it is ignorant. FOH. It's not our problem that our military is superior. You're stupid if you think other coutries are throwing molotovs as their defense system. Even third world countries are using remotely triggered explosives. Read a book.

Why? Because we have the advantage?
That's like the Broncos saying "you know what? This isn't fair. Let's only run it."
Interesting logic.
