GI Jane set to become a reality in US Special Forces
GI Jane, the fictional female special forces commando immortalised by the actress Demi Moore, is set to become a reality in the United States armed forces.

The head of the US’s special operations’s command has said that he fully expects to see women serving in all of the military’s elite units following the recent Pentagon decision to lift the ban on females serving in combat units.
Admiral William McRaven, the officer who planned the mission which led to the killing of Osama bin Laden, said that his command will now attempt to integrate women into the Navy Seals and Delta Force.
Adm McRaven, who has spent most of his career serving in the special forces, added that he was “fully supportive” of the decision to lift the ban, adding: “It’s time to do this”.

You are probably right. Normal women are not going to be able to make it through that kind of training. I hate to say it but its probably going to be more like GI Dyke. Well, they also dropped the "don't ask, don't tell" rule and now allow gays to serve openly.
Coincidence?

All female special ops units are the answer. At least that way the real specialist’s wouldn’t be put in danger.

The whole goal is to turn the Military into another jobs program. Or make it the Peace Corpse.

British Army ‘has dropped fitness standards to allow more women to join’ The american military did that back about the seventies. When you are given a direct order to have a defined greater-than-minimal percentage of females "passed" and allowed into the ranks, you do it -no matter how you have to make it happen.

Of course not. It’s all part of the plan to create a gender-neutral “utopia” right here on earth.
