My hat is off to them-even though they failed out and got “restart” ( of the men who failed Darby-how many got a “bye” and allowed to restart?).
Even with a mulligan ( which would allow the gals to recheck their motivation and get a running start the second time through), it was tough. I did not make it as a young 24 YO marathoner/triathlete and seasoned Infantryman-broke a leg. Never went back and don’t regret it!
Have the standards been lowered? I doubt it. Telling a Ranger to “take it easy” just doesn’t fly.

Retired is the key. Do you really believe Obamas’ military has the same standards as the one you served under?
I wish it did.
No, because men passing ranger school is neither news, nor political points for some liberal to claim.
