I feel for the team members of the female BUDS candidate in the water during her time of the month. The blood alone will make the sharks interested in them.

Military capability has not bearing on this, and anyone who thinks it does, will be purged from the military or civilian leadership.

Yes, it is a bunch of social engineering, and that is all that it is. It has not one D@mn thing to do with making a better military.

What makes me madder than Hell is that we are going to see all kinds of puff pieces in the next 5-10 years, that will have some liberal talking head saying the following:

"...Back in 2015, women were finally allowed to apply to Ranger/SEAL/Green Beret programs, and there were many who thought it would destroy the capability of these units. Evidence has shown that they are just as capable (footage shown of women in full combat gear exiting Ospreys and wading through water shown here) and mission ready as they have ever been. I am speaking with Colonel Jane Smith, who is in charge of the SEAL mission planning, and she says the inclusion of women into SEAL units has increased the readiness of all units..."

Count on it.
