Since this is the only first-person account of someone that actually observed women in the Ranger training that I've seen or read, I think this piece ought to be read by all who've posted on this in recent days.

It’s sick, wrong, and weakens the force. Looking at women with shaved heads, trying to act like men.

Good for them! Send them to the Regiment. They earned it.

IIRC the two who made it through were West Point graduates.

That’s a fascinating read. These gals earned their tabs. Haters will keep on hatin’, but I think it’s great.

sorry, not first person.

Since my graduation, I have followed the progress of these remaining female Rangers with interest. Although virtually all of the discussion I have heard surrounding their advancement through the course...

Ridiculous PC crap. Completing a rigorous course like that doesn’t make a woman fit for a combat role and in a sane normal society it would be beyond comprehension. But when you have a mentality that thinks two men or two women can be married, or anyone who walks across our borders is entitled to free benefits most other members of society can’t get but have to pay for, any kind of garbage is acceptable. INCLUDING this. Another Obamanation designed to weaken our military and create fricton in society.

This proves, without a doubt, that all females between the ages of 18 and 55 should be forced to register with the Selective Service.

Were male Americans of African descent drafted into the Infantry during the Vietnam War? Yep.

So why not women?

This is discrimination. All American women have the right to have their heads blown off.

He was first person as they began the process in his class. Read it again. It’s obvious he saw the load and equipment they had, including the SAW or the radio as extra load.

He lost me at paragraph 5. using one of the left’s favorite pejorative rhetorical terms: “haters”.

No sale, ‘Rudy Mac’.
Nice try though.

And good luck with captain or major, this article should help.

I guess Jesus is a hater then as He said (through prophecy) that women will become as men in the End Days.

I have read and heard an increasing amount of bad-mouthing from a plethora of haters

Haters? A US Army ranger calls someone a "hater"? Doesn't smell right. The rest of the story is peppered with jargon to lend credibility. But one word is sooo out of place.

I’m no fan of that term myself and I attribute it mostly to being an artifact of the writer’s age, guessing late 20s.

If they are badass enough to make it through Ranger training, put them in combat and let them prove there metal like all Rangers. They are obviously capable; use them for what they were trained for.

Similar to the reports I got.
First person affirmation.

"We are universally in awe of what these two female Rangers have accomplished."

Why in awe if men an women are equal?
