All have failed, but 5 may return at some later time from Day 1. This is a regression from the 8 that were recycled a couple of weeks ago.

This article argues the feminist position that since they have all failed, the only recourse is to change the standards so that they can succeed. This is what will happen.

A better article, with some important details on why these students failed the Darby phase for the second time are at this link (can't be posted at FR)

Or maybe standards shouldn’t change.

“All 8 women fail Ranger School: Some Rangers say standards should change”

CORRECTION:

“All 8 women fail Ranger School: Some Rangers say standards should be lowered”

If a woman ever makes it and gets killed it will be claimed that the men failed to protect her because they didn’t want her in the unit.

“Some Rangers” need to STFU! If they feel the need to hang out with a bunch of women 24/7, they need to do what the college kiddies do and go to Panama Beach.

“Some rangers” will say pretty much anything.

How so?

...women can actually make Ranger units more effective.

Bullshit.

Sorry...but that was bullshit.

And I don't for a minute think a Ranger said it, unless he was a chauvinistic misogynist who thinks the women could cook and clean for them in the swamps or something.

On second thought...

Discharge those individuals immediately for being too homosexual or retarded to be soldiers at all.

I’m sure there are some women who would like to play pro football.
And if they could play, NFL teams would hire them; if they could meet objective standards, they could be Rangers. But they can’t do it unless the selection procedures are corrupted.
The only way the average chick is going to play for Green Bay, or wear that Ranger tab, is by ‘executive order’ or presidential fiat.
Obama is doing all he can to demoralize/destroy our military and hurt our country.

Others have said it here but it bears repeating: soon America will learn that Ranger combat skills are not about seeking out and destroying the enemy with minimal U.S. casualties. No, Ranger skills, we are about to be told, are about shared diversity, allowing others to find their space, and building communities in which all body types feel welcomed and accommodated. And where enemies are encouraged to apply for internships as a first step in finding a rewarding career in the public service sector and moving away from confrontation.

Yes. Standards are about to be lowered faster than you can say “President Obama supports a strong military.”

I don’t think it should change.

Men by the cartloads have failed Ranger school since day 1 and they didn’t change the standards for them. The men that fail that cna take it again, have a far better chance at passing a second time than any of these women, and they are not saying they need to change the standards for them.

I am so sick of feminism. We’re equal, but when we cannot be, we force the rules to change for us. And then brag about how equal we are.

It’s crazy. These are people who have to depend on others for their lives and haul a lot of gear around quickly under extreme conditions and stress. While its tough it isn’t even the same thing because there’s no one attempting to kill you while you qualify for the job.

If they can’t hack that, they can’t hack the real job. I don’t care what sex you are. You want the absolute best other people around you if you’re in this group.

"standards should change"

Then we should also change the standards of what's considered a "successful mission".

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

Do they no long teach how to write complete sentences in journalism courses? Frankly, I’m more concerned about this than women completing or not completing Ranger school.

Anyone who thinks that lowering standards for women is a good idea, to make them qualify as elite soldiers, or just soldiers, is ignorant of history. It has been tried with disasterous results.
