Do you think a background check is important? How about intelligence?
Would you support a team of 65 year old bodyguards for the president who have really good teamwork and intelligence?
I guess with your logic you have to.

Do you think a background check is important? How about intelligence?
If concentration and teamwork are the most important then why are there no 60+ year old secret service agents protecting the president? Surely their teamwork, experience and concentration would be fantastic? In fact, why don't we just have women and elderly men do the role? According to you that would be fine?

So Seal Team 6 don't handpick the best of the best?
Pretty sure they rate each person on how many Chuck Norris's they equate to. Scale is from 0.0 to 1.0.
Nobody has ever even gotten to 0.5 let alone 1.0.
Would you support known criminals with big biceps, because they are stronger than women?
Because thats your logic.
Thanks for proving that you have absolutely no idea what my point is, and now I have to question your comprehension skills.
At no point did I suggest anything even remotely close to that.
I said "best of the best", which obviously discounts criminals. Your points are utterly ridiculous
I said "best of the best", which obviously discounts criminals.
OK, give me your criterion for who fits in the 'best of the best'?
How strong/ smart do they have to be, what are their education standards etc?
Should a woman be allowed in the secret service if she can deadlift 250kgs, has a PhD in Quantum Physics, an IQ of 200 and can run a marathon in 2:30?
Would that be enough for you? Or are you looking for a higher standard than that?
So you are saying that it's not all about being the strongest and fittest?
Because he's probably an insecure incelwhy is it such a sticking point for you that men are stronger than women when 99.9% of their work doesn't involve overpowering someone?
The best candidates from America.
Last I heard SS was nearly entirely Ex military or SWAT personal, so basically the best of those.
Yes, a theoretical superwomen could join, however in reality men are by best the candiates to provide physical front line protection. If you had to pick 1 person to protect you from someone attacking you, would you pick a strong man or a strong women ?
You really have infantile arguments.
Being strong, fit and fast should be a non-negotiable.
And before you respond with dumb arguments ill preemptively reply.
No, they don't literally have to be Olympic level athletes, derp, that is obvious.
Yes, a theoretical superwomen who is stronger and faster than men could join, derp, that is obvious.
No, a mass murderer with big muscles wouldn't qualify to being "best of the best", derp, that is obvious.
Because he'sprobablyan insecure incel
It's really hard to make sense of your posts now. Let me lay out your criteria and concessions to explain why:
It's hard not to believe that you've just drawn an arbitrary line between men and women and are making up your justification on-the-go. In one breath you acknowledge that male SS aren't going to be top-of-the-line athletes, and in the next you're putting an absurdly high bar for women to qualify in the same role.
- A male Secret Service agent has to be fit, fast and strong
- A male Secret Service agent does not have to be as fit, fast or strong as an Olympian
- A theoretical superwoman who is stronger and faster than men could join the Secret Service

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loaded_questionI was gonna respond but then I saw this
And I realized the intelligence of the person I was responding to.
If you dont like being called a wife beater that means you are a wife beater, actual 9 year old logic. Oh and thanks for bringing up Colonel Gaddafibrilliant
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loaded_question
The traditional example is the question "Have you stopped beating your wife?" Whether the respondent answers yes or no, they will admit to having beaten their wife at some time in the past. Thus, these facts are presupposed by the question, and in this case an entrapment, because it narrows the respondent to a single answer, and the fallacy of many questions has been committed.
Here ya go, gotta keep adding to this intelligence you speak of
The line between men and women for a physical role is not arbitrary, to suggest as much is utterly ridiculous. That's why we never let women compete against men in sports, because there is a line between the two genders that is the exact opposite of arbitrary.

Meet the Qualifications
To get into the Secret Service, candidates must meet several requirements relating to their physical fitness, citizenship status and education level. Each aspiring special agent must be a U.S. citizen aged 21 to 37 and possess a valid driver’s license.
Secret Service agents cannot have any visible tattoos or body markings and must qualify for Top Secret clearance, which requires a thorough background investigation. Candidates must also pass drug screenings, complete polygraph tests and agree to work anywhere in the world.
Each applicant needs to possess firearm proficiency and the legal right to possess a firearm. Individuals with domestic violence convictions will not qualify.
Education Requirements
Prospective Secret Service special agents must also meet education and experience requirements. To become a Secret Service agent, a candidate must qualify for the GL-07 or GL-09 government pay scale levels.
For the GL-07 level, an individual must meet one of the following qualifications:
To meet GL-09 standards, a candidate must possess one of the following requirements:
- Possess a criminal justice bachelor’s degree or a similar credential from an accredited university with a qualifying GPA and class standing.
- Complete 18 credits of graduate-level studies.
- Have one year of relevant experience.
- Be able to act as a leader or partner with collaborators to complete relevant missions.
- Possess a master’s in criminal justice or a similar subject, a doctoral degree or two full years of relevant higher-level graduate education.

Meet All Fitness Standards
Secret Service special agents must have strong physical and mental health. Secret Service requirements stipulate that all candidates must pass physical exams for hearing, vision and general fitness standards. The applicant physical abilities test (APAT) evaluates individuals based on how many push-ups and sit-ups they can complete in a minute, along with agility and distance running tests.
You really have infantile arguments.
Amazing how you point out basic facts like men are better at physical protection
A bullet doesn't care if you're a man or a woman, a president or a plebSo asking if men or women are better at providing physical protection from threats is a loaded question because there's only 1 answer and it proves my point?
Thanks for pointing that out.
