The question is did they lower the standards for her to make it? Having seen what that training involves I need to see this woman or is it a transgender.
Dropped standards or Tranny, bet the farm.
How can you ask that question? Of course they did. You know the PT requirements are different (lower), and that in every measure of physical capacity women come out worse. They cheated to pass three mommies through Ranger school because the Army was under duress to include girlies. This is Kara Hultgren all over again, except the girls are going to get men killed.
“The question is did they lower the standards for her to make it?
If it’s a real woman of course they lowered the standards. Not a woman alive can pass any Special Ops training without standards being lowered. If and when a woman becomes a linebacker for the Seattle Seahawks, she might be ready for special operations, which is tougher than the NFL.
I was an enlisted Marine and retired as an AF officer.
She will rise or fall based on her ability to lead, improvise, overcome, and earn the respect of her Marines. Respect and the desire to follow a real leader is earned, not a given.
It’s always been that way. Read some of the first person accounts of WWII Marines in the Pacific. You quickly see that those who were posers merited the dislike and distrust of their NCOs and enlisted men while those who actually led and understood their men had their everlasting respect and they would follow them without question.
How will she pan out? We’ll see but I don’t have a lot of hope. It’s all on her.
I read elsewhere a comment that they had bent the standards just a “little” but I have no good source or any knowledge.
