USMC took the females for infantry and changed NO standards, specifically to demonstrate it was unworkable.

For Army my prediction is that they’ll send the standards through extreme exotic gymastics, bend them back like gumby, and later declare the results peachy and refreshing.

And everyone will be SUPER pissed-off, including the females who are passed cuz of the PC brass.

You know they will reduce the standards, which further weakens the military.

I simply don’t have the words to express myself at the moment . . .

If the Army does not lower standards then about 100% should fail.

Remember the “Green Beret” song?

100 men they test today, only 3 win the Green Beret.

Does anybody believe that even 1 of 160 women could meet the standards those 3 men met?

I would love to be a fly on the wall at Ranger Regiment HQs. I can guarantee this is not going down well in the Ranger units, no matter what the Army “leadership” is saying.

Rangers [lead] led the way!

(trying to paste with the original strike-through the “lead”)

they may lower the standards to help the ladies but you can be sure ISIS/al qaeda won’t be kinder and gentler to help them.

Now, here's the REAL question for the US Army Ranger School: Are you going to hold the women to the very same standards as the men candidates? If not, why not?

If I'm a Ranger and I get in deep do-do, I don't want some affirmative action wussy guarding my back. Oh, yeah, if the Army thinks they can have female Rangers do admin jobs and not deploy them into combat zones, what's the point — a neat shoulder flash? Bravo Sierra . . . Rangers lead the way!

I’m not sure this is a good idea.

Military Freepers, what say you?

PING!

Wonderful no balls decision; of course this will help Rangers to empathize with the enemy.
