* Capt Kristen Griest, 32, pushed against Army's plan to consider test scores of men and women separately after branch received complaints about gender gap
* 'To not require women to meet equal standards in combat arms... will place those women, their teammates, and the mission at risk,' Griest said
* Griest, who in 2016 became the Army's first infantry officer added: 'I'm here saying, "Women can do more than we think"'
A woman who became the U.S. Army's first female infantry officer has hit out against the watering down of physical-fitness standards for women, saying that all soldiers should meet the same requirements.
If women are judged on a sliding scale, she warned, then some members of a unit won't be fully prepared - and could put soldiers at risk, including women.
'With equal opportunity comes responsibility,' she wrote in a recent opinion piece, which stirred up debate.

The US military is becoming less and less effective the more the Obama generals and their crowd gain power. I blame the Democrats, who are actually enemies of the American people. They are doing nation grave harm.
Trump was commander in chief...what did he do ?
no trumpie blames trump...not even for the loss of white house, senate and House
Trump fucked most things up and that is why he lost lost lost. If you now want to tell me he won, supply evidence
Who cares what this affirmative action Ho has to say! Biden first Dem to win Arizona since 1948,lol!
Trump as CINC waxed your hero Soleimani, got us out of the losing Afghanistan War, brought us the lowest black unemployment in 50 years, gave us energy independence, had the sharpest increase in growth (33%) after the Democrat induced lock down, showed us that the walls and agreement with Mexico work.
Kamala, a pretend black woman (She is not authentic), insulted the leader of Mexico. Just 3 months on the job give or take.
Liar
"I'm here saying, 'Women can do more than we think.'"
I'm sure that's the case, but they cannot do what men can do, and the exceptions prove the rule. Wake me when there's a female heavyweight boxing champion. At least she's speaking out. There is no doubt in my mind that radical Muslims, the CCP, Russia, etc. absolutely love the Western politically correct mindset.
The glorification of women over the last decades at the price of men (men=toxic) was abysmal and thankfully historians will get to analyse this with a bit more objectivity and see who said what on Twitter and shamed and tried to hold back an entire gender for this madness of enforced equalization at the expense of hurting another.
It's not just in the military. What's being done to men (young and old) for the glorification of a gender that's gone mad is a new form of sexism that goes unnoticed and hurts a lot of men. The equivalent of tyrannical wives is now playing out on national level at every stage of our societies. And it's noticeable everywhere. Instead of making sound and and smart, safe decisions, men are being bullied into going with the most terrifying, sexist, unsafe, destabilising, insane policies. From military to education to policing to private sector. And it's not just dangerous.
It's shameful. It's everywhere. Yes in the military, where women are recruited, hired and glorified ahead of men, but also in tech companies like in California where you, if you're a gender fluid or any group of female or human other than hetero cis men, you triple your hiring chances into senior board positions. Not by competence. By gender! And only for good, important jobs this discrimination against white cis men happens. Not for mining jobs, sewage cleaning.. those jobs there's no ACLU or other satanic NGO working to push their divisive, corrupt, unsafe and destabilising agendas.
There's gender targeted and race targeted promotions going in the hundred of millions in the west now in a yearly basis and for whatever reason white men are being selected for discrimination and it's being CHEERED on by these psychopathic tyrants. The hurting and disqualifying and disrespecting and marginalisation is openly promoted in corporations. I see a major, major lawsuit coming soon. And in big corporations too.. there will be some hurt for these policies and failed ideas, not just on the battlefield.
There are gender differences. Women lie. A lot. Men are physically violent. A lot more than women. And in the military, on the battlefield, physical strength, stamina, endurance, hand eye coordination, bone density, reflexes, capacity to detect movement at larger distances, sense of direction.. they ALL matter for survival....And to lower standards is such a disservice to both men and women on that battlefield. It's not just about pushups. Decision speed is another beauty to look at.
I say it again. The real tyrants are women, and the West gets to feel it now. Men just want peace, some ass and quiet. Women .. that's a whole different beast and being equal was never the goal. And the craziest most insane women are driving the conversation, culture and downstream politics. And the mentally insane gender fluid scream a long and do the bullying on Twitter to Facebook to YouTube. Full on insanity that influences defense for years now.
Good luck everyone
