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.
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.
Do Woman do combat now? Do they have to pass the same requirements?
Oh child, you poor poor sweet child.....
No, they don't. You see, applying the same objective standard across both sexes is discriminatory, because most women can't meet the standard.
That’s what I thought. They weren’t allowed in combat when I was in

They're only soldiers on paper.
