She talks about how the standards are being watered down because women are seen as weaker and this is an issue. She also goes in to discuss about how women have a different genetic makeup then men and how the standards are different from men and female weight. https://mwi.usma.edu/women-arent-problem-standards/ This article is from WestPoint the United States Military Academy for the Army.

Like what happened to cause something etc. The next video I watched was about immigrants and Trump supporters. As someone who has a lot of friends that are immigrants from the are I grew up, I have a good experience with people of this nature. So this video did a really good job at showing some of the underlying things that people wouldn't necessarily think or talk about when thinking of "Trumpers" or "immigrants." The immigrants in this video share their story in the video and the Trump supporters hear them out and t
