Okay so what I meant was that some people in the past have commented that they think as soon as it's open for females, they'll be forced to do it. Oh and no one is "forced" to do it. If they don't want that job then they don't "have" to join the Army. If they want to be in the Army that bad, well then I guess that's what they get. But I don't know too many people who wanted to be in the Army that bad. I thought you had to score at least a 50 on the ASVAB just to get in the Army? Medical jobs I think you have to score higher than that.
Yeah if a female gets a 16 on the ASVAB she CAN'T be infantry. That's not her fault. That's Congress' fault. So if you can get in the Army on a 16 and if infantry is the only job available and IF a male or female wants to join the Army THAT badly, then yes they would choose that. But no one is forcing them to - that's just the standard for that MOS. But since females aren't allowed to be in the MOS, then how is that our fault we don't get put in it?

So since no one is FORCED to join the Army, unless there is a draft no women would be forced into the Infantry so AGAIN, you want them to have a different standard than a male that is drafed and forced into the INfantry? A 50? REALLY? You actually thought the Army had the HIGHEST standards? Exactly the opposite. In fact the Army has the lowest standards not only in that area, they also accept felons, and they accept the oldest enlistees. As far as the Medical, that is dependant on line scores (which the Army grades significantly higher than the AF-AF max is 99 Army is well over 100). The overall score (AFQT) is the minimum score to get in which the max is 99 low is a 0.
