Don’t forget immediate oth discharges for female pregnancies, making women who do want to serve meet the same physical requirements not just for offs but actual labor requirements of the position. For shits and giggles we one time had about 12 females try to lift a zodiac, they couldn’t even lift it off the well deck let alone move it. This was about a decade ago now, it clearly hasn’t gotten better.
Why are women in the military anyway. Or police. Or anything requiring masculinity.
It's to destroy these institutions.
Too much work. Ban them from service and reconstitute the women's service corps. Just watch how few takers you get if they have to wear dresses and heels.
that would help a lot of people but the pay scale would have to change
What about this aptitude testing? Capable people no longer have interest in the service, for good reasons.
I would dismantle every branch of the military. Standing armies are unconstitutional.
