A satisfied Ranger is an effective Ranger.

The standards for Ranger school were designed to keep most
men from passing, so the fact that very few women will ever pass it shouldn't be surprising at all.
Eventually, a woman will pass without the standards being changed.
The Ranger standards should be set at whatever level is needed to produce good Rangers. Period.

Yes, I know how consensus works. Everyone’s opinions matter except for those who don’t matter.

At least when liberals are involved. If they don’t want change they scream consensus (even when there is none). If they do want change, doesn’t matter if consensus is opposed to the libtards’ desires.

These students did not meet the standard for a number of reasons, including leading patrols, poor peer evaluations, Poor peer evaluations? WTH? That really degrades the TAC officers or instuctors jobs, thats borderline mutiny.

I heard that command more times in Navy boot camp in 1976 waiting our turn to enter the chow hall than I care to remember. One day a jerk wadd behind me made some grinding motions on my posterior side that set me off, and I drew serious attention to myself and especially the bozo with homosexual tendencies at my defenseless backside. I made sure that he wasn’t behind me ever again. Queers in the military serving openly and in close quarters with heteros is most definitely a very bad policy. I would not make it without being slammed in the brig for grievous assault in today’s military...

Well the day that a WNBA team can beat a mid-level high-school team, I will believe women should be Rangers. For many, many years I've been saying "pro women teams" are no better than average boys high school teams...at best. It's one reason why the attendance is always so low.
Yet the Marxist media continue to promote these faux "pro sports" teams as something special and the equivalent of mens' pro teams.
It's just more indoctrination for the sheeple...

I guess the women didn’t get enough testosterone in their last injection.
I guess they will have to go through weeks of testosterone therapy and can’t enter the system until they grow beards and male parts.

“That women can actually make Ranger units more effective.” How so?

Don’t you know that the vagina has superior combat intellect? Sheesh.
To: bgill
And that the standards that keep them out are outdated.
Welcome to the New America. The Barack Obama/MSM America where being the best of the Best is no longer the goal. The goal is to make everyone the same. Not by raising those that are lower but by lowering us all to the same point.

Ranger School, which grooms the Army’s most elite special operations fighting force,...This is a false statement. The Ranger's are not the most elite. They just blow stuff up. Delta is the most elite followed by the SF (Green Beret).

If women can’t do it, the argument goes, then they shouldn’t be Rangers

I wonder what Sgt. Matt Eversmann and those who ran the Mogadishu mile think about this.

the fact they are women is not relevant. they are all persons.
no person can be a ranger if they don’t measure up
gender has no part of the matter
