I honestly do think they would change the standards but not to the extent that they should.
I don't want to soften the APFT standards. If a woman wants to go the 11A/B route, I think she should have to meet the same existing criteria for the men. I don't want a middle-man compromise. I think the standards for women in combat roles would increase but not to the current standard men have.

I want to fight declared wars. I want responsible defense spending. How is that dismantling the military? I don't want to cut one job from the military because I know if we are responsible with our money we don't have to.
Lastly, rock, why would I want to dismantle the military? I am in the military...“A creative man is motivated by the desire to achieve, not by the desire to beat others.” – Ayn Rand

Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil;
Who substitute darkness for light and light for darkness;
Who substitute bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter!
21 Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes
And clever in their own sight! Isaiah 5:20-21 NASB

But that's not gonna happen. It's already been proven when they let women fly fighter jets.
They have to lower the physical standards so the women can pass and those people that use us as a social engineering ant farm don't end up looking foolish.
Women are on the front lines right now anyway. So this is not about letting them into the fight.

We are in agreement, tx. We both know that if there is any change in standards, it won't be to better our military. I think the female standards should be increased as it is just based on the females that I work with. They have no trouble passing their APFTs and usually score in the 250s on the men's scale. Granted it is a small sample size.

It's not how old you are, it's how you got here.
It's been a long road and not all of it was paved.
