I honestly have no idea how this thought leads to the conclusion that we need to lower the physical standards for military services, rather than simply disallow any woman who can’t meet them from serving in a combat role. We shouldn’t relax the standards to make it easier for women to join, we should be holding women to the exact same standard as anyone else.
If an individual can’t sling a wounded soldier over their shoulder and carry him, why are we allowing these people to enlist at all, regardless of sex? You can’t start accepting blind people into combat roles just to meet diversity quotas. If you can’t meet the basic standards of sight, you can’t enlist. If you can’t meet the basic physical standards, you can’t enlist. That just makes sense.
