Other than Ronda Rousey...? No....
First Female Fighter pilot killed. Rushed through ahead of more qualified men by the PC forces under Bill Clinton and killed herself because she really wasn't qualified to do what she was pretending to do.
They lied about her going through the same training as the men. They deliberately ignored her bad scores on training tests because the chain of command said "promote her."
Who would consent to be a "source" for this? Are you outta your mind? You might as well ask "Who wants to throw away their career? "
I believe the allegations are true, but I very much doubt you will get anyone to say so on the record. It took years before the truth about Karen Hultgreen came out, and I expect it will be at least until after Obama is gone before anyone dare speak the truth.
I have no "proof"
Sir, I can only tell you of my own personal Army experience 40+ years ago.
The standards were tough enough for us 18 year old boys/men, many did not make it through Army Basic training, it was a living hell and you had to have endurance, strength, and a fortitude to go beyond what you thought was physically possible for yourself.
It's just my gut feeling, no proof, that no woman could have passed the training I went through.
Ranger training? Pshaw, ain't happening.
Seal course? Ha-Ha-Ha!
Ok gotcha.
I remember some reports on it.
ROTFL! This is gonna get good. Pass the popcorn. The Army Rangers are not the SEALs.
They will change the standards.
They can rename *Hell week*, *that time of the month*
Youbetcha
I understand. But I would think that somehow the information is going to leak out. I would bet that the standards were lowered to accommodate women. Maybe not officially but they were. I am just looking for irrefutable proof.
By that time, it will be policy though. That it was built on a lie simply does not matter to the leftest agenda pushers.
“The Standard” in the USA is NO women in combat, period, no pun intended.
Irrefutable proof isn’t required, in my opinion, because whether the standards were lowered or not is irrelevant.
The truth of the matter is, even if a 100 woman could pass the qualifications, women should not serve in combat billets.
They shouldn’t be on combat ships or submarines. They shouldn’t be in front line combat units, much less infantry units.
And they most definitely shouldn’t be in special forces of any kind.
This is not out of a lack of respect for women. It is out of respect for the mission, and the logistics and complications of team cohesion should make it apparent without question.
It isn’t the civilian world, and mixing young men and women in these environments only detracts, it doesn’t add.
The truth of the matter is, to the people implementing this, it would make no difference if the capabilities of a unit were degraded by 50%.
What is important to them is getting women into billets that will enable them to advance up the chain of command. That’s it.
And when that happens, it will simply drag women into all positions as a matter of course.
Military capability has not bearing on this, and anyone who thinks it does, will be purged from the military or civilian leadership.
have a feeling lots of SEALS are gonna die in missions as a result of this
And worse, those missions will fail.
Which, is 0bama's primary intent behind this crap, I believe.
“...should make it apparent without question.”
Amen!
IIRC, Fox News has a female who was a former Navy combat pilot and Arizona has a female Republican politician who was also a pilot in the combat arena. ....The latter’s name is something like McSally, I think; can’t recall the name of the woman on FNC.
