Mr. President, it’s past time to take care of this malignant nonsense.

Congress is as much to blame as anyone for this.

Put women in the nfl too. Why not?

There's the answer flat out.

You just know that any of the “females” who graduate will be transsexuals. LOL. Putting the mentally ill into such a position really fits into ongoing and perpetual LIB lunacy.

Another woman, who sources say is a junior in an ROTC program at an unnamed college, has applied for a spot in the SEAL officer selection process for fiscal 2018, which begins Oct. 1

My son got through 24 yrs of the SEAL screener at the Academy and dropped when he couldn’t keep up with the pushups and was dragging on his boatmates. He’s no flake. Chickie has no chance unless they move the goalposts.

That pretty much describes every specops guy I have known. The military teaches them... no beats discipline into them. If your kid is an XYY, only a few routes. Pro sports specops or Swat.

And when these women fail the standards will be lowered, and they will be allowed to try again. Disgusting.

There are very healthy, strong, well conditioned and athletic men who are simply driven into the ground and have to withdraw from SEAL training because they become physically incapacitated.

Doubtful many women will pass the course.

South Africa has a few elite units that accept all comers,including women, who qualify for training.

They have never had a woman pass the course because they do not lower standards and women just can’t make it.

Only about 50% of males make it through ranger school.
So far, the rate for women is maybe 10% and it took them three tries to graduate if I remember correctly.

Or the prison colony on Fiorina “Fury” 161.

dear God, please make it stop...

http://www.military.com/daily-news/2017/07/19/navy-first-female-applicants-seal-officer-special-boat-units.html

It’s possible, however, that the first female member of these elite communities will come not from the outside, but from within. In October, a SWCC petty officer notified their chain-of-command that *****they identified as being transgender*****, Salata confirmed to Military.com.

According to Navy policy guidance released last fall, a sailor must receive a doctor’s diagnosis of medical necessity and command approval to begin the gender transition process, which can take a variety of different forms, from counseling and hormone therapy to surgery. Sailors must also prove they can pass the physical standards and requirements of the gender to which they are transitioning.
