to put out fires

and get cats down from trees. The fact is that we are lowering the physical standards in 2018 to accommodate females in combat roles. You think this is a good idea to lower standards across the board to accommodate a group? Any group doesn't have to be females could be any group you care to conjure up. Do you really think that lowering the general standard across the board will raise effectiveness of the force and not have any negative consequence to the force?
