SAS could change selection test to make it easier for female recruits

The SAS is considering adapting its gruelling selection test to give women a better chance of succeeding, according to reports. The elite special forces unit is thought to be looking at plans to make one of its trademark recruitment exercises easier for female candidates to complete

Soldiers hoping to join the Special Air Service and its sister regiment, the Special Boat Service (SBS), currently have to pass an initial physical test, which involves carrying heavy rucksacks over a series of long marches across mountainous terrain.

But according to reports, the SAS is considering allowing female recruits to carry lighter loads and giving them more time to complete the test.

The suggestion comes after the government said it wanted to see all close combat units in the British military open to women by 2019.

It is felt that the marching tests are unfairly discriminating against women who may have the attributes needed to succeed as SAS soldiers.

But there is understood to be concern among current members of the SAS that any changes to the recruitment process could lead to a lowering of standards across the unit.

Soldiers from any unit in the British Army can apply to join the SAS and SBS, but traditionally has recruited heavily from the Parachute Regiment and Royal Marines.

Let's say the female candidate has lower weight requirement for her ruck and longer time to complete the march and somehow manages to complete SAS training to become a team member.
Her team is out on a mission and has to haul ass across the terrain to evade capture or being killed. Is the rest of her team required to run slower so she isn't left behind because she cannot keep up with the men during a mission?

Why is it so difficult for women and politicians as a group to accept that they are not men and cannot perform certain tasks at the same level? They would rather women have the "equal" opportunity to be a part of an elite warrior class and get everyone killed than to simply tell women if they want to be equal it requires equal levels of performance.

Otherwise, let them form female only SAS teams who can all run equally slow from harms way under their lightened packs.
