Because standards are first and foremost about maintaining a healthy force. Then they find a number that allows for being healthy and operating in combat. That’s the minimum and you get points for going above that, and discharged for not meeting it. I guarantee you they aren’t keeping women around as a DEI thing where they’re only equal on paper.
I don’t care about DEI. But yes, that explains it.
Thank you, you actually changed my view unironically.
