First off
No you said that, when you made the claim the lives of your husband and/or son could be endangered because their was a female on their team.
BTW Bullet flew with females, I never worried that he was endangered because they were good regarding the stick...than again they were graded as equals, no special treatment because they had 2 XXs, in other words men and women were never given an easier route based on sex.
Are you stating that they are just as safe if the female is allowed to perform at lower standards? My point is a 5'6 male will be required ti a higher standard than a 5'8 female.
Second,
I know a lot of female fighter pilots who could pass the male test. All I am saying is they should pass the exact same test.
The SA's don't give points to females regarding PAR because they are female, why should the AD military give an advantage regarding PT or test standards?
Please tell me why females should get that advantage? Explain it to me.
You are playing the game of divert, you have not once said why they should be given that edge.
Heck, if you want to take it out even further, I don't believe that there should be an age differentiation either regarding the PT. Bullet when he is working out could pass the 21 yo test even at 46.
I see the PT requirements as a PC issue. Bullet and I discussed this last night, he stated and I agree because of the physical build of a woman that some things like upper bidy strength needs an adjustment, but he also understands my point, don't ask for equality if you are asking for special compensation.
I think our difference is I believe that women are not weaker, and that they can pass the physical aspect if they really want to! Shannon Faulkner had the ability, but she was wrapped up about her gender and lost site of her goal to prove she is an equal.
Sorry, but I don't understand as a mother of a girl how you would defend giving them a "pass" even with PT, don't you want your DD to quash the attitude that she needs an edge? I know my DD would be the one screaming BS I want to to be scored like a guy....then again that also says a lot about why I chose her name...I wanted her name to to reflect the strength woman have...there is a poster on this site who personally knows her, and he will tell you her name fits because she is strong, and her name means defender of man kind. It fits her.
Why on earth would you want special treatment because you are a woman?
