Army says it will goes easier on people with vaginas and uteruses in fitness testing for some reason

Next comes the Navy

The U.S. Army tried to be woke and it turned out to be a joke on them. After three years of complaints and discussion, they finally realized that people who were born with vaginas and uteruses are not as strong as people who were born with penises and testicles [women and men, respectively]. So the Army scrapped its move to have gender- and age-neutral physical fitness testing and will finally allow women and older soldiers to pass these tests with reduced standards.

It took a study by the RAND research organization to convince the Army brassholes [who initially made the decision to test everyone as if men and women and the older population are all the same] that there are differences in physical abilities between these groups and the requirements should be tailored as such. 

The RAND research confirmed that people with penises were passing the new six-event fitness test at a much higher rate than people with vaginas and uteruses. Older soldiers were also having difficulty with scoring high enough to meet the requirements the 2019 test demanded of them.

The changes in testing will only affect the regular fitness test taken annually. However, certain military occupational specialties {MOS) such as tough combat positions or specialties such as Ranger school, will still require everyone, regardless of their genitals and age, to pass the same fitness test because the enemies of our nation don't differentiate which American soldiers they try to kill.

The Army revamped the fitness test three years ago, going from three events — pushups, sit-ups and a run — to a more difficult and complicated combination of six events. Those six exercises are a dead lift, power throw, pushups, plank, run and a combination sprint/drag/carry. A leg tuck was included early on but has been eliminated because in combat, ducking is more important than tucking.

The new test had been met with widespread criticism as women and older soldiers, including some in senior positions, had difficulty passing it. Troops in the National Guard and Reserve were also struggling and were having a hard time finding and getting equipment needed to train on and practice for the test.

Chaitra Hardison, a behavioral scientist and a person with a vagina and uterus who wrote the RAND study, said the data showed “some groups failing at noticeably higher rates — women, older soldiers, Guard and Reserve personnel and soldiers in some occupational specialties.” She [which is her personal pronoun] said the difference in passing rates was the largest between the genders.

The latest change will allow people with vaginas and uteruses and soldiers in the other categories to do a bit less in some of the events and still pass. For example, women [defined as people with vaginas and uteruses] will have to pick up 20 pounds less weight in the dead lift than men to pass, and men older than age 46 will also have a lower weight bar. Women and older people with penises will get a minute or two longer to complete the run, but men who identify as women will not and will need to meet the same requirement as men who know which gender to which they belong.

The new program also brings the Army back in line with the other military services, which have varying fitness tests but all use tiered event requirements based on age and real gender, as opposed to an imaginary gender claimed by people who suffer from gender dysphoria.

Hardison said the RAND study, which included analysis of about 460,000 soldiers’ tests, concluded there was scant evidence showing that the resulting scores accurately predicted combat job performance or that doing well led to reduced injuries — two reasons the changes were made in the first place.

Maybe this will get the rest of the world, particularly enemies of the USA, to stop laughing at us.
