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.
There is no point other than political correctness.
I think Congress still has a law in place that forbids women from serving in front line units.
Graduating from Ranger School is not an automatic entry into the Ranger Regiment. Passing Ranger School allows wearing of the Ranger Tab. Most graduates return to their original unit after graduation
Many of the members of the Ranger Battalions have never been to Ranger School but rather have passed the 8 week Ranger Assessment and Selection Program. All members of the Ranger Battalions are Airborne qualified.
Airborne qualification is not a requirement to attend Ranger School.
That's because incrementalism works best for social gender bending engineers. There will be female "Rangers" in the Ranger Regiment within the next 5 years. Bank on it. The standards have been beaten down, one female at a time. All hail diversity!!
It’s a ploy. No one forced them to “go through all of that”. Now that they’ve “passed”, the military will eventually be forced to accept them because this administration and other groups (as well as the media) will demand it.
