And then there's this.

Cue the "You don't say" meme.

And I hope that somewhere near the bottom of the report, I hope that it says "Capt. JAG2955 had nothing to do with this study, but for some reason was forced to go to a weekly meeting where he didn't say anything."

Listening to your female teammates get stress fractures would be unpleasant. I wonder how many tried to keep going on a stress fracture and hand a bone break. Apparently you need testosterone for bone density.

Philosophy loses to physiology every time. Thus was it ever so.
The chairborne jackholes who ignore that lesson are going to needlessly fill a lot of body bags with US troops in the next conflict.

If we simply transition the entire military to the current male standard across the board, the problem goes away.
So do 99.7% of the female troops, from E-1 to 0-whatever, because that can't meet that minimum standard.
Put the ones who want to stay anyway into a non-deployable female auxiliary for clerical and medical positions in CONUS, as originally designed, and stop the PC BS.
