No, but he is willing to learn.
I liked this line:
‘There’s a lot of men who can’t meet the standard to be infantrymen, and a hell of a lot of men who can’t make the standard to be Rangers or SEALs’
Let’s think about that for a minute...
Another way to say this would have been:
100% of men who qualify to be infantrymen do meet the standard to be infantrymen, and 100% of men who do become Rangers or SEALs do meet the standards required for these positions.
What Dempsey was attempting to imply was that we have infantrymen and Rangers & Seals who really do not measure up. So what the hey, let’s add a bunch of women to the mix. It’s time.
How he is qualified to be the commander of the Joint Chiefs is a wonder to me.
