Women still not making it as Marine combat officers

Washington Free Beacon:
Pressure Grows for Marines to Lower Standards for Women

27 Female Marines Have Attempted the Infantry Officers Training Course. None Have Passed.
It is a tough course and not all men make it either.  Lowering standards would put troops and other officers at risk in a combat situation.  Combat puts both mental and physical stress on participants and when someone is not up to the challenge that just adds to the difficulty of those who are still functioning.
