Do you happen to have the numbers on how many female soldiers just crack
Those exact numbers would probably be difficult to get a hold of, but here are some references:

Marine experiment finds women get injured more frequently, shoot less accurately than men

One of the Marine Corps' first women grunts might be booted out only two years after making history



I once saw this really interesting video by a female soldier who admitted she was surprised at how ineffective she was even after making herself as fit as she could, but I can't find it now.

heard from a pj podcast that the Airforce specops is throwing out physical fitness for "analytics and algorithim" based selection. the pj expects pararescue and the airforce's warrior ethos to die out soon.

I'm waiting for the "scandal" that forces them to no longer bar people below 70 IQ from enlisting. It's only a matter of time.

8 Pull-Ups for a perfect score? Fuck, I wouldn't consider myself particularly fit and I could do that.
Really makes me wonder if my below average fitness would be sufficient to get through the women's course of this stuff and passing with flyiang colors.
In sports, sometimes a reknown female team that regularly participates in world championships faces a random rookie team of male teenagers for some gimmicky match and getting their ass handed to them at like 10:0.
I guess there are jobs that women might do in the army that they can do just as well as their male counterparts, but if they can't keep up with the minimum requirements for fitness, they should not get a free pass for their sex.

Can't even begin to imagine the horror of your average soldier over this shit. Imagine losing friends and comrades cause some PR-stunt WAHMAN squad folded under pressure and broke down and not doing their job during an ambush.

I'm not surprised the minimum over-arm pull is 3 but I am slightly surprised that "perfect" is twenty. I could do 18 back when I was fit. I certainly couldn't do that now but I never thought it was that high. I was skinny and did a lot of training for strength rather than bulk so I guess I was better than I thought. Still, solution to this is obvious. @RomanesEuntDomus - if you want to be a marine but can't meet the men's fitness requirements, just declare yourself a woman and you can take the lower standard tests. I mean it wont fly with the people who are critical of the lower standards in the first place, but clearly those people aren't the ones making decisions here. Bonus, you get to shower with a bunch of women in peak physical condition.
