“is questioning if the women who passed Ranger School last month got special treatment.”

ANSWER: Is a pig’s ass pork?

Moore, 47, declined to say where he lived . . .

Because the forces of peace, love and tolerance would hunt him down and slaughter him.

Served w Russell at Ft Irwin and in Iraq. He doesnt weigh more than a buck twenty soaking wet w rocks in his pocket but he’s harder than a petrified jaw breaker.

He washed from Ranger School as a lieutenant, then went up to Alaska for his first tour.

When he came back to Benning for Infantry Officer Advanced Course, he was hell bent to make it and he did.

He was one of the finest combat leaders Ive ever been around.

He’s got his teeth in this thing like a pitbull and he’s not about to put it down.

The average male can break the average female in half. Using an economic argument it is wasteful of resources to recruit women into the Rangers. Using a moral/fairness argument, as the Left would in so many other contexts, it just is not right to subject women to the risk.

Just my two cents but if I was a guy in the Ranger I wouldn’t want a woman (women) in my unit. I think it compromises the entire unit in many different respects and not just the obvious ones. If they are going to have women in the Rangers at least have female units only, dress them up sexy and sic them on the enemy. See what happens with that but don’t let women that cannot see they have no place in Rangers get courageous, disciplined, honorable men killed. I am a female and I can see the obvious. Men and women are different in sense and situation. Women are better at certain things and men are better at certain things. And war sadly enough is all about killing people and breaking stuff and the more savage the better. Makes for a quick end to it I would think. This particular story sounds very much like that G.I. Jane movie with Demi Moore. That’s probably where these Dixie chicks got the idea to join the Rangers. Someone needs to tell Obama’s military brass that was just a movie and Demi really didn’t get jaw punched by her D.I. She might have shot up steroids or did some enhancement to look a little in character but no one touched her precious little million dollar face. What was believable in that movie was the part Ann Bancroft played as the corrupt congresswoman (corrupt congressmen and women are totally believable.) Sounds like Obama has wrecked every branch of the greatest military in the world with elitist, freak pointy headed brass.

I keep telling ya’ll, this “I am WOMAN, hear me ROAR” business is B.S. - Years ago, a retired Army officer told
me that when his outfit got the BUGOUT signal; they were never able to get the trucks loaded in order to bug out. - There were a lot of women in his outfit, which had a lot of heavy essential equipment. They did not have enough UPPER BODY strength to be able to lift the equipment. - SO, they were never able to bug out for the drill. - In a drill, not so bad. In a war, tragic. WAR IS HELL, not a picnic.

I'm sure if women were such boons to the Rangers, Robert Rogers would have recruited them during the French and Indian Wars.

So would other leaders of elite soldiers in the intervening 250 years. But they didn't.

So, now all of a sudden things have completely changed and combat leaders have discovered something nobody else managed to figure out?

Nonsense. It is just more Political Correctness run amuck. It can only ultimately end in the unnecessary death of our soldiers and defeat in battle.
