The question asked in my blog about women in the military is: what is the opinion of women being held to the same standards in the military?

Sage Santangelo wrote about her experience failing the marine infantry test. Santagelo took the test after years of training, climbing mountains, and playing on both men's and women's hockey teams. Regardless, she did not pass. She believes that women should, in fact, be held to the same standards as men in the tests to be in the infantry. She believes that if it was any different, then troops would be put in danger. Santagelo knows that women are naturally built differently than men, but she does not think that should lead to double standards. She thinks that women like her were failing the test in such great numbers because they were held to a double standard earlier, so that now they could not compete. In her earlier training as a marine, women were always segregated from men and had to do less to pass fitness tests. This made them have many less opportunities to grow stronger and also made their male counterparts see them as weaker.

Sage Santagelo thinks that they should give women a second chance at the test, because previously they were not allowed to after failing it once. She also thinks that you should be able to decide on an infantry career earlier so that you can get a good foundation to be in the infantry and pass the test.
