[QUOTE="LibertyTurns, post: 400326, member: 789"] It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to understand why they changed the rule. Not every 2LT is less qualified, just the ones that can’t pass because they don’t have the physical skills/endurance and/or mental toughness to pass. It’s disrespectful to stigmatize the female officers that can pass by adopting the “everyone gets a trophy” strategy. The military is not a laboratory for social equality science experiments. What the Corps has in fact done has in effect communicated to the force that women are substandard officers and cannot earn their designations. Every female Infantry Officer will now face greater challenges trying to integrate in the force. The USMC leadership has set back gender equality in the Corps by their shortsighted action. There’s nothing wrong with allowing women to earn their stripes. There’s everything wrong about giving them something they did not earn. It’s high time that Americans start having real conversations about racial & gender equality. Nobody benefits from politically motivated do-gooders deligitimizing the real accomplishments of minorities and females because we’re fixated on managing outcomes instead of providing equal opportunities. There’s plenty of high caliber individuals out there and all we need is a level playing field. This is social justice run amok & a bad deal all around. [/QUOTE]
