There's a huge body of objective evidence showing women in the infantry are bad for combat effectiveness and morale, that the obama decision to allow it was a strictly political one, and that standards WERE and ARE lowered to make sure some women 'qualify'. Once obama made that poor decision, only the ethical officers resisted, and they were forced to retire for not playing the game of political correctness. Then thousands of unethical officers were promoted to insure the PC culture would take a deeper foothold across the DoD.
In the Marine Corps women don't even have to compete with men in basic training- they have their own separate program so they don't bring down the quality of the men's training.
The Army is struggling with the controversy of having softened and reduced standards for its famed Special Forces (a.k.a. Green Berets) Q course- current and former SF soldiers directly involved with the SF program have gone public with reports and evidence that the Army is even fudging results for SF candidates who can't pass the new much easier standards. Those same reports claim the Army hid or destroyed the actual candidate records showing the failures.
