Obama’s attack on the military
“And last December, Obama opened up all combat roles to women. Results so far have been predictable, with women overwhelmingly failing their physical tests. In fact, six out of seven women are unable to pass the physical fitness test required for combat jobs, and the lowest 25 percent of men do as well as the highest 25 percent of women in such tests. One combat-tested female Marine captain, who could bench 150 and was extremely physically capable, suffered irreparable harm as a result of serving in a combat role, primarily because the female body is not built for that sort of physical stress.
Captain Katie Petronio wrote:
It was evident that stress and muscular deterioration was affecting everyone regardless of gender; however, the rate of my deterioration was noticeably faster than that of male Marines and further compounded by gender-specific medical conditions. At the end of the seven-month deployment … I had lost 17 pounds and was diagnosed with polycystic ovarian syndrome … which was brought on by the chemical and physical changes endured during deployment.
