The heavily scrutinized assessment of women attending Army Ranger School could be nearing its end soon, and it comes with a dichotomy: senior service officials are laudatory of their efforts, while some of the women who washed out question whether they got a fair shake.

You are correct
The blood, sweat, and pain of War isn’t fair! It should be like the movies.
It is not fair that everyone does not have a chance to have their own way to rule the world. We should all have our time in the white house to make our enemies squirm./s
The women attending Ranger School are obviously not of the caliber needed to finish. Military members are taught to TAKE RESPONSIBILITY not blame someone else for their failings. Integrity is really important when it comes to ascending to the Elite in our Military. So sad this Admin has corrupted the best Military (Army Navy Air Force and MARINES) in the world, with PC. Ladies, if you can’t make the cut, don’t whine!
Demi Moore in a tight t-shirt not withstanding, anyone in Ranger school (much less the 75th Ranger Battalion) should be able to perform at the same high level.
No rational and informed person thinks we should lower our military standards to embrace diversity. Of course, there are lots of irrational and ignorant people out there.
"Fair"??? WTF has "fair" to do with it?
A bullet in the gut isn't "fair". Neither is a sucking chest wound. Or an explosion under your vehicle. Or random pieces of jagged metal flying around. Suck it up, buttercup. Either you can hack it, or you can't. If you can't ...
1) Make way for those who can.
2) Find something you can hack, and do that.
In Iraq the enemy quickly learned to target the smallest targets because they were likely women and they knew the men would quickly rush to her aid....more targets....
Military leaders can’t acknowledge this reality with retaliation from the Congressional bribe machine.
How many men washed out? I bet it’s a goodly number too. I wonder if they are “questioning” if the training was “fair”.
WITHOUT retaliation!!!!!!!
grrrr
What is really unfair is that women are not built like men and do not have the physical abilities of men. Well, except for “Catlin” Jenner.
Life's not fair sometimes. Deal with it.
I just don’t understand some of these women. They are built differently than men. Why are they trying to be manly? I think the same of women running onto the football field to interview a sweating/smelly football player during halftime etc. Mind boggling.
PC is killing this country. Everyone who bends to PC should be deported/exiled.

The RIs were there trying to get us moving. As I reached the top of the bank tying to move faster my foot hit a stump and I went head first over the bank. I dropped the 10 feet in the air with the weight of the ruck causing me to land on my back at the feet of an RI.
I remember being dazed looking up at the RI as he said: “Ranger, Stop fooling around and get moving!!!!” Being conditioned to follow the RI’s orders I got up and moved on.
I cannot see a woman being able to do the same.
