“Not woke” I counted at least 3 women who were doing what would be considered field combat ops, including a black woman with a weave.
Do Woman do combat now? Do they have to pass the same requirements?
Technically as infantry, though that more entails patrol and guard stations, and from what I’ve seen is incredibly limited. They claim “women serve in special forces” but the reality is they never go through the same training as their male counterparts. The reality is female “special forces” is the equivalent of women in ww2 who were used as spies to buy intel. They also recently dropped requirements for the army green berets but claimed it wasn’t to spread diversity.
They're only soldiers on paper.
USMC makes it very open and explicit that women have considerably lower PFT standards than men.
However, these lower standards are still far higher than what every other branch has for women, so the USMC has the smallest number of women make it through boot camp.
That’s what I thought. They weren’t allowed in combat when I was in
I just watched it again and didn't see a single woman. If they're there the USMC certainly aren't making them very visible, which is good enough.
In the last shot, the woman is on the left. The shot with 'there is one constant' has a female 'marine' looking sideways with a helicopter and the sun behind her. In the snow scene there is a black woman in the background.
Remember, it isn't an army or navy recruitment commercial without the director pretending that at least one woman is a man.
