You are taking half a sentence out of context, reinterpreting it, and replying to a statement nobody said.


> No shit! That's because the integration happened based solely on ideological and political terms, as opposed to happening in order to improve the quality of the corps.

You could exclude anyone born on monday through wednesday and it wouldn't have a big impact on quality.

But getting rid of that exclusion for ideological reasons would be a good thing. It's a stupid exclusion.

If a very big exclusion doesn't have a very big reason to exist, then the reason to get rid of it doesn't need to be huge either.

> Nobody wants to admit that women may have different needs, or worse, abilities, than men lest they be called sexist and lose their political power.

> God forbid men and women actually have differences

I don't see how these differences have anything to do with the problem here. An all-woman group would probably have similar rates to an all-male group.

And most of the differences only exist in statistical form. Individual people have individual abilities and should be sorted based on their own scores.
