The first two women to graduate from Ranger School have had their elite status questioned amid claims that Army officials vowed to pass at least one of them before the course even started.
Back in January a general is claimed to have told his subordinates that ‘a woman will graduate Ranger School’ this year. More here
No! Really? (feign surprise, here)
The same day this story broke, I heard a Navy Seal say: “What’s the big deal? they’re all a bunch of girls anyways.”
The Army. Period.
Is it time to bring back FTA from the Vietnam era. Except now, it would be FTNFWA, F**k the new feminized wuss army. The same goes for the Navy, good grief the whole thing makes me sick. At least the Marines are holding their own still for now but even their political correctness is rearing its ugly head.
My daughter went through a very brutal, six week physical selection process like this about a year or so ago. She couldn’t talk much about it, where it took place or anything about the job she was seeking – something about “operators.” I can only imagine…
The mental toughness component was the part where many applicants failed. But she said that she met some of the finest soldiers in the service during this time. To tell the truth, we are glad she didn’t make it; I suspect she is still feeling the physical aftermath of that process.
Lord only knows what assignments she’d be handed if she made it. Don’t know if any female soldiers made it through.
I don’t go out with girls anymore
I live a life of danger
I sit in a tree and play with myself
WHEE!!
I’m a Ranger…
Yep, a rump ranger under obummer’s new wussified PC Army.
Affirmative Action
Never get between an Army General Officer and his next star.
Gambling? At Rick’s?
I’m Shocked!
Shocked, I tell you!
the armed forces are only as good as the worst female recruit , same for the police !
Well, it’s not like it’s buds. And there’s Ranger School and the goods ones then go to RANGER school.
I remember standing in formation years ago watching a couple women get medals for being there.

Massive special treatment. They ‘passed’ in the same manner that any other ‘Affirmative Action’ failure ‘passes’ anything. [waves to Obama]
FTA: “Women were first sent to a special two-week training in January to get them ready for the school, which didn’t start until April 20. Once there they were allowed to repeat the program until they passed – while men were held to a strict pass/fail standard. ”
Nice.
Those two are West Point female officers. They get the tab for their uniform. Promotion points. They’ll never deploy with a Ranger unit. They’ll be coddled and groomed to show how women contribute to the Army.
Yay…
If you don’t already know that the military is the petrie dish of society for congress to enact social experimentation, I can’t help you.
If you’ve been immersed in it, like me, I’m not telling you anything new.
