Again, the government hasnt done this, but now groups are lobbying for lowering standards for equality purposes.
Thoughts? (I am against it)

Tell them to f--king go "lobby" elsewhere! Or maybe these "lobbyists" should go ask all our enemies, foreign and domestic, to lower their standards so we don't have to fight so hard.
Golly gee whiz, ISIS guys could you please stop lopping heads off and only fire pistols instead of AK-47s and RPGs, pretty please???

GREAT image, MAJ Robert (Bob) Petrarca! I use the term fairly frequently. It's nice to see it in picture form.

I am all for equality, but if a person (note I did not specify gender) cannot meet the standard for infantry, that person should not BE infantry.

I am beginning to notice,
the feminist version of Equality isn't equality. I am still waiting for someone to propose that women be required to register for Selective Services.

Most of the feminists I interact with are pretty spot on with equality, as in equality means JUST that, not women > men.
There are just some people who think that discrimination against the dominant demographic is the proper response to discrimination perpetrated by the dominant group.

According to those feminist organizations proposing this it is, but it doesn't look like equality. No one has really even spoken about making women participate in the Selective Services act (which I wouldnt advocate for, but equality means accepting the good and the bad. not just good.)

CSM, I agree. Equality also denotes an equal chance to fail and not meet the criteria. Equality is not a guarantee to qualify or past a exam, a test or get a position you are competing for.

Interesting point I had not given much thought to. If we are all equal to participate in combat shouldn't everyone be required to register for selective service?
