Let's just open it up, make it based on performance if the women can't meet the standards.
让我们明确一点,如果女性不能满足标准就让其按照规定行之有效。

Here is the short version, the U.S military is changing its policy to let women serve in combat units.
这就是短见所在。美国军队正改变政策让女性在战斗部队中服役。
And this is not going to happen immediately, those jobs will open up overtime, and some military units can require an exemption, although officials say they'll have to explain why.
这不会立即发生,这些工作将马上开始,而一些军队的单位可以要求免除,尽管官员称他们将不得不解释其中原因。
You might think, wait a minute, don't women already serve on the front lines.
你可能会想,等一下,女性已经在前线服役了。
The answer of that is yes.
答案是肯定的。
In Iraq and Afghanistan, female soldiers ended up in firefights, they were serving in frontline units.
在伊拉克和阿富汗,女士兵出现在了战场上,她们在前线部队服役。

但是她们没有正式在作战部队中服役,这是我们现在讨论的。
Still, that fact hasn't stopped some women in the past from fighting.

Back in the American revolution and the civil war, some women disguised themselves as men, so they could fight on the battlefield.
早在美国独立战争和南北战争时期,一些女性就化装成男人,所以她们可以在战场上战斗。
Now obviously, opinions on this are split, and one of the big things that critics are pointing at is the ability for women and men to meet the same physical training standards.
现在很明显,意见产生分歧,而那些批评的言辞之一都是指向女人和男人的能力都要满足相同的体能训练标准。
"We're going to see as we've already seen with the expansion of roles of women, steady downward pressure on military qualification, reductions, then strength, endurance requirements, in order to get numbers up."
“我们将看到,我们已经看到随着扩展女性角色, 为了得到数字，对于军队资格,力量、耐力等的要求会稳步下降。”
"Well, it is certainly true that not all women can do all of the requirements.
“嗯,确实,不是所有女人能够符合所有需求。
Neither can all men, the important thing here is to make sure that right people are in the right jobs, and anybody who had the qualifications can serve in whatever position they are best suited for."
而所有的男人也不尽然,重要的是确保正确的人从事正确的工作,有资格的人可以担任何最适合她们的职位。”
