There is obviously a need for female operators in certain situations so I applaud any woman who can get through Ranger School.

Because some tactical situations call for a sammich.
It has been asserted on another thread that the Army gave both women four months to shirk their normal duties and simply train for this school. The army does not do this for male soldiers.
It was also asserted that both women carried Female Soldiers during the test rather than Male Soldiers.
There were a lot of other assertions about how the test was rigged to allow two females to pass it rather than to maintain the level of difficulty through which the males have to prevail.
I don't know if the above assertions are true, but considering how the Navy leapfrogged Karen Hultgreen over more qualified men, and then let her kill herself because her actual capabilities were not up to the task, I find it entirely plausible that this "Female Rangers" is nothing but another Potemkin village by the Social Engineering fool at the Top of the Chain of Command.
I also think we will not officially hear anything different because all those other soldiers want to keep their jobs and dare not say differently.
Was there a need for female operators in Korea? Vietnam?
