I don't know what point you're trying to make with this but I'll tell you one thing,

In the US military, No one finds themselves in a branch or unit they're not physically prepared for. Because there are trainings and exams. When you're up against any service man, you'll always meet who is ready for you.

I wouldn't go into these arguments, but Irrespective of any loose Gender definitions, I doubt if any transgender male will ever pass the seal test. Because their biological make up will not meet the demand. Same with women.

The bulk of American troops are Army National Guard(s), and a bulk of them will NEVER see combat... they are basically territory-based boys/girls scouts with weapons and fancy gadgets. "Lowering the standards" does not affect their duties which are not that physically demanding anyway. It in fact frees up the rest of the Army for external duties like preparing for a possible confrontation with China.

Meanwhile, in Mozambique...

The South African Contingent in Mozambique held its quarterly psycho-educational group sessions presented by the Contingent Clinical Psychologist, Lieutenant Colonel Marshall Pietersen with the focus on the adjustment of members in the mission area, addressing expectations, and providing tips to manage challenges faced by members. Buddy support, self-care and reintegration with family post-deployment are some of the points dealt with in the group sessions.

I like the more comprehensive Botswana system, which offers counselling to family members as well, both during and post-deployment.

Everywhere around the world, the work of a regular PVT is not physical demanding except in rare situations.

The US isn't going to fight China. Both governments are way too wise to take things to that level. Unless Trump returns and does something very silly.

You hardly ever hear of close shaves with Chinese aircraft. It is always rogue insecure attention-seeking countries like Iran, Russia, DPRK that love escalatory moves.

I so much admire the countries of Southwest Africa. They have the best systems in sub Saharan Africa. West and Central Africa are the worst.

its not US spesfic, the West in general have been lowering standards for women in the name of equality.... And yes 100% women are not on the same standard as men but they are put into combat roles against a male enemy.... That can cost lives.... There should only be one standard for men and women and either you make it or you don't.

Not true. You mixed things up.

Prior to Obama's administration, there were no combat roles for women. The test was only for men. Now when Obama opened combat roles to women, the military basic fitness tests for infantry were revised around the same time to remove easier requirements for women and make the test gender neutral. The result; a massive failure on the female side.

The DoD then had to revert the tests back to the age old tradition of reduced standards for women. Now test for infantry and combat roles have not changed in terms of gender and never will. It is different from the basic fitness test that everyone in uniform must pass through irrespective of role.

Females who have secured combat roles are very few and all passed the same tests with men. Those tests are neutral.

If you make the basic tests neutral is simply means you won't have women in the force in significant numbers.

With Bush we might have a conversation.

However, Obama and Clinton did nothing wrong according to international law.

Did you hear Biden's response when asked about the ICC warrant?

He said sth like: "We don't recognize the ICC but it's great they know what is right".

You guys make it all about the US and forget that Russia's main enemy is now Europe. More 90% of Europe hate Russia 10x more than US populace.

As it stands Russia is losing its european exports markets to MEA, losing it's global defence markets to Europe and losing it's political relevance to China.

Of course, Democrats tend to avoid war, whatever it takes.... BUT we all know they don't have more than 2 terms in office before Trump or DeSantis takes over the White House and beat the war drums again... On the other hand, China is still interested in "unifying" the country by taking Taiwan, and that's not going away anytime soon.

Also, no one thought Russia was going to fully invade Ukraine even when they were building up forces on the border, everyone thought Putin was just "showing off" force until it became clear just a month before it happened... China/Taiwan/US is the next conflict, maybe not now BUT it's inevitable, only 1 superpower can stand.

Russia losing it's global defence markets to Europe?? Lmao grin grin grin.
Western media will only show you want they want you to believe. A lot of Europeans are supporting Russia in this Russia-UkraiNATO conflict. They are tired of the infidelity of their leaders and their eagerness to please Murica by always carrying out it's orders even at the detriment of the European country.

Just look at what has happened in the E.U ever since the war broke out, the continent has been hit with political crisis, cost of living crisis, economic crisis and inflation crisis because "Uncle Samnctions" ordered them to place sanctions on Russia. The dollar is rising and getting stronger while the British Pound and Euro is falling and getting weaker. E.U leaders are still "sending more weapons" to Ukraine for the war to drag on not knowing that it is benefitting Murica's military industrial complex. The E.U forfeited it's privilege of buying cheap Russian fuel and now guess how much they buy fuel from OPEC countries (thank God Nigeria is a beneficiary grin).
Eastern Europe is being destabilized meanwhile the mastermind "god of war" is over a thousand kilometers far off living in a non conflict atmosphere (no complete peace in Murica, gun violence is the order of the day).
Turkiye, "an European country" was able to broker a deal between Russia and Ukraine for the export of grains and also the exchange of Prisoners of War meanwhile the so called "SuperPower"/ World Police is busy sabotaging the peace efforts by aggravating the war and instigating it's fellow NATO gangsters to keep on adding fuel to the burning fire of the conflict. Can you imagine, Boris Johnson flew all the way from the UK to Ukraine just to tell Zelensky " Don't enter peace talks"??

To wit: the Uitkyk Pass on the P1487 route connects the Northern and Southern Cederberg. This pass has recently been paved, and offers dust free views over the Algeria Valley.
It climbs 410m over 4.7 km to summit at 1022m ASL with an average climb gradient of 1:11
The pass provides access to many of the Cederberg's favourite climbing and hiking routes as well as to the Dwarsrivier and Kromrivier farms where accommodation, camping, craft beer and fine wines are available.
