I listened to her interview and read the printed article (same info).
I understand *what she is saying - that the females are not trained the same way as males, and she feels that is the reason they cannot perform to the same standards in this test, which she says should not be changed. Changing the way in which women are trained could make a difference - it makes sense. However, as has been said - I do not think women, as a group, will be able to perform to the same standards as men. Like Larry said, women's bodies are just physiologically different from men. Of course, there are some women who can - although none have passed that MC Infantry Course, yet. Personally, I am not against them being given the chance, (with or without "different" training methods) although I am pretty sure not many women will make it and I am definitely not in favor of them changing the standards. At all.
Just as an observation - I don't think the Second Lt. looks all that fit, to begin with. The article says she's 5'3, so she could be somewhat stocky, but she doesn't look "fit" in her face and neck area. She looks like she has a soft face, not one that looks like she has been intensely training in the USMC for a course such as that. Just saying.
