And if anyone believes these two gals didn't get preferential treatment and the physical fitness test was lowered for them I have some good ocean front property in Arizona to sell you. How long now before we hear of a couple of females that have completed Seal training.

"This course has proven that every Soldier, regardless of gender, can achieve his or her full potential,"

And it only took the gurls 3 tries...

Congratulations on your being a Ranger ladies.

-Now we will drop you out of a plane in some hell hole and you can fight your way out. You will have little water, food or comfort. You may die or be maimed.

Have a nice day.

The left just LOVES "making history".

Not for any particularly good reason, mind you.

Demi Moore as GI Jane was the first woman SEAL.

What happens to these women if they’re captured by the enemy?

Did the Army think about that?

this thread is useless without photos. I want to see what these new ranger-ettes look like so I can determine sexual orientation.....or at least take an educated guess

AS soon as Trump or Cruz is sworn-in, they will begin cashiering careerist lickspittles like Dempsey, this SOA and all the other little Weasleys degrading our military.

Actually, the scuttlebutt is that the two ladies in question could hang.

Report from Ranger School

If they could hang, and met standard, I'm fine with it. It will always be a small number of women who DO have what it takes, it's just the far end of the bell curve. . .

**IF**, on the other hand they were spoon-fed, there's a problem. But reports are that Cadre agreed with a recycle back to Day 1, and that's allowed for ANY Ranger Candidate at the school. ..

While I have no doubt that either of these women could wipe my ...er....Obamahole, I strongly suspect that the standards just might have been ....altered. I salute the two women and bet that they’d kick *ss in a real battle.

This is NOT meant as an insult to them. It IS meant as an insult to the Army (and other military) commanders who do not have the cojones to publicly speak out about Dorkbama the Muslim and his marshmallow major cohorts who seek the destruction of our military.

Any society that sends its women to fight before it sends its non-shaving boys and cane-borne old men deserves to be destroyed, and will be by those who do not make that mistake.

"This course has proven that every Soldier, regardless of gender, can achieve his or her full potential," Secretary of the Army John M. McHugh said in a statement.

BS. Exceptions are not the rule...they are EXCEPTIONS, which is why they are notable. And I suspect these women might have been helped in ways other Rangers were not....since the edict came out from Team Valerie to get some female graduates.

And how much money was wasted training them? Were any males allowed to retake any Phase 3 times? A ten percent graduation rate sounds pretty cost ineffective to me. And while were are downsizing our military why are we wasting money training someone for a job they will never do?

As I have said in other related posts. If all combat roles are open to all women who can meet the standards, then shouldn't all women between the ages of 18 and 26 be required to register for Selective Service just as men are required?

In this brave new world, shouldn't women be draft eligible just as men are?

Bring this little unintended consequence up to one of your liberal friends and whatch thier heads explode.

The Army lost this fight when they couldn’t express the reason for Ranger School.
