The Marines quietly put off the requirement that femal Marines perform 3 pullups.

From Ann Althouse at Althouse Blog:

A Marine spokesperson cites the need to "ensure all female Marines are given the best opportunity to succeed." Only 45% of female recruits could meet the standard, which 99% of male recruits meet.

Robert Maginnis, a retired Army lieutenant colonel, says the delay shows that women just can't meet the same standards.

"Young women, in spite of all the training and all the best intentions, are not going to be the equal of young men in terms of upper body strength," Maginnis says. "You've got to have a lot of upper body strength to lift the stuff. Been there, done that."

Yep, success is being defined down. Wait until a lot of marines die because their fellow female soldiers can't carry them away to safety.
