Marine Corps Leaders Struggle with How to Train Female Infantry Officers Amid Worries About 
28 Sep 2023
Military.com | By Shawn Snow

In 2018, a Marine general who heads the service's training command wrote about his concern that the "pursuit of ensuring fair and equitable opportunity" had allowed a female Marine candidate demonstrating "dangerously poor performance" to continue a key course.

"This could have resulted in a MISHAP," Maj. Gen. Kevin Iiams, the commanding general of Marine Corps Training and Education Command, wrote in an email to other Marine Corps officers obtained by Military.com through a government records request.
 
The candidate was undertaking the Corps' grueling 15-week Infantry Officer Course.

"Did we let this 2Lt go to [sic] far before ending her training?" Iiams wrote in the email.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

Why isn't a gender-neutral term being used for women since we are always being told by the left there is no difference between men, women, and trannies?  And since all are equal, why is the military concerned by standards?  Being equal, the human once known as woman can do anything the human once known as man, the old standards are already in place for use. :whistle:
