"All-male ground combat teams outperformed their mixed-gender counterparts in nearly every capacity during a recent infantry integration test, Marine Corps officials revealed Thursday."
Excerpts:
All branches of the military are facing a January 1, 2016, deadline to open all combat roles to women.
The Marine Corps is using this experiment to decide whether to request exceptions to that mandate. The Corps’ summary of the experiment, posted online today by NPR, concludes that combat teams were less effective when they included women.
Overall, the report says, all-male teams and crews outperformed mixed-gender ones on 93 out of 134 tasks evaluated.
All-male teams were universally faster “in each tactical movement.”
The report also says that female Marines had higher rates of injury throughout the experiment.
Such conclusions may be disheartening to proponents of gender integration in combat, and certainly put a damper on the news that the Army’s ranger school recently graduated its first female soldiers. The tests come with at least one important caveat: As the Marine Corps Times notes, many of of the male study participants had previously served in combat units, whereas female participants, by necessity, came directly from infantry schools or from noncombat jobs.
The Marine Corps summary report does not indicate or suggest that the Marines will be asking for an exception to the military’s integration mandate. However, it does quote this somber section of a 1992 government study on gender integration in the armed forces:
A military unit at maximum combat effectiveness is a military unit least likely to suffer casualties. Winning in war is often only a matter of inches, and unnecessary distraction or any dilution of the combat effectiveness puts the mission and lives in jeopardy.
Risking the lives of a military unit in combat to provide career opportunities or accommodate the personal desires or interests of an individual, or group of individuals, is more than bad military judgment. It is morally wrong.
Amazing how militant Marxist Feminist Obamunists insist that arbitrary Politics can overcome 1,000,000 years of evolution... Snowflakes can try to fool themselves but they can never fool Mother nature who evolved men to hunt, build, and fight to kill and protect their clans and women who were evolved to birth and nurture the next generation of warriors and mothers. Any other thinking is evidence of domestic enemies of our country and constitution who intend for the USA to lose in combat and diplomacy as a powerful military supported by a powerful economy makes for a more powerful diplomacy.
A major reason why we need a realistic CiC who will rebuild a military to fight and win and not just provide socially engineered career advancement opportunities for trannies, gays and snowflakes.
