The only problem I have is that I beat mediocre men on all levels. I am stating a fact not bragging. Hormones or no hormones. That does not mean that I would have been able to pass Ranger School. But that also means that you should not deny me the opportunity to try. That is all I am saying.
I do apologize for being rude and calling people pansies. That is revolting. Sorry.
Chogal, I didn’t think your use of “pansies” was rude, it was shorthand for people who aren’t tough enough, and I understood it in that context.
We are going to have to disagree on this. Besides, it is a done deal anyway and is going to happen. You will be happy about it, I won’t, but that’s that.
At what? A fight, a race, a hike, what? Not trying to be a dick, but that matters. Also the logistic requirements change when there are females in a male environment. Requirements change, costs go up. Is the increased cost of the support structure justified for the purpose of 'giving someone a chance'? Enough for that one woman in a Ranger company? "Be all you can be" is a recruiting tool, recruiters lie. The reality of military service is "Be all we want you to be" or the Corps "We don't promise you shit, but we give you plenty anyway."
