if, the initial phase 1 weeding out process can be adjusted so that females
Adjusted being the operative word. I’m reasonably sure by adjusted, you don’t mean increasing the task and standards.

Political correctness experiment with no gain to those on the pointy end.

Recall the wise words from earlier in the thread about war not being an equal opportunity employer. You want to stack the deck in your favor, not dumb down the advantage that high standards brings. There are jobs in the military where woman excel, likely exceeding their male counterparts performance at. A job that emphasizes physical endurance and core strength doesn’t play to a woman’s size.

If and only if a woman can pass the same test that a man can (not a gender considerate dumbed down one) should they be allowed in the SAS.
