A big congrats to the women. They went at at 3 times. I was not a Ranger, didn't want to try, and everyone I ever knew who was said it was the toughest thing they ever experienced.

I have no idea of what is going on but I would bet my mortgage payment that they did not go through the exact same thing the guys did.

I don’t get the point of having them go through all of that, several times, announcing that they passed, awarding them the tab, and then cutting them out of joining the regiment.

“I was not a Ranger, didn’t want to try, and everyone I ever knew who was said it was the toughest thing they ever experienced.”

At 19years old I’m sure it was. But if girls can do it,
then it it cant be that big a deal now can it.

The new feminized U.S. Army where the troops really are
pu$$13s. It’s so sad you have to laugh because the reality
is just a joke.

If they passed selection, put them in the Regiment. They wanted it, they should get it.

There will never be equality between the sexes in this country until every female between the ages of 18 to 55 is forced to register with the Selective Service.

Then, 800 females will be drafted to form an Infantry battalion. There will be no deferments for pregnancy, children, marriage, physical fitness or being overweight.

All will receive Basic Training and Infantry training. There will be no failures or recycles. They will receive the training.

Then, they will be shipped to Afghanistan to fight. They will spend one year engaging the enemy in close combat.

Anything else is politically correct bullshit.

It’s not the mind, it’s the body. I don’t see how the female body can endure and express the same level of power, endurance, strength, that the male body can. And with SOCOM, that’s a very big deal. So how is it equalized?

Unfortunately, the political agenda has just cast a huge shadow over what should be a great accomplishment for these women. (yes, I consider them brave and tough for going through the course.) — There will now always be a pall over their achievement with people, especially graduates of Ranger School, questioning whether they passed because the President wanted them to.

Bunch of horse crap, they keep letting them go til they passed, not to mention speaking from experience, they are not subject to the same things as the men.

Leave women out of the combat arms, they don’t belong there for a myriad of reasons.

Ranger School is a Leadership program, graduation from the Ranger Course has nothing to do with selection to serve in the Ranger Regiment, although it is a de facto requirement for officers. It is not a prerequisite for enlisted soldiers.

The conditions for the Ranger course includes on pushing students beyond their limits of physical and mental endurance. These women very likely met these conditions even if they did not reach the physical exertions of most if not all of the male students. The question is did they perform well when pushed beyond their limits. The Army will say that they did. Their fellow Ranger students will know the truth and we will hear some reports, but no one except those who were there will really know what happened.

The major danger of this achievement is that the political crowd’s agenda will demand that women be integrated into infantry, Ranger, armor, and Special Forces units and employed in these units in combat. That would be a mistake as combat requires an absolute level of physical capability whereas Ranger School can be adjusted to adapt to relative limits. Women in the combat arms will get soldiers killed, both women and men. But, politicians have proven to be very good at getting soliders get killed for nothing more than making politicians looking good.

I guess the Marine Corps Infantry Officers Course is tougher than Ranger school.
