No other woman has started the long process required to become a Navy SEAL, Walton said...

Is it really that difficult to figure out that women aren’t able to do what a man can do?

I would probably be scared to see what a woman who passes SEAL training looks like.

Why did she drop out? Cuz it is hard work.
Swimming quickly and holding your breath underwater while carrying and assembling a device and doing it quickly before your air runs out.
Something I would say most men can't do.

Most SEAL candidates don’t make it. Expect the left to start demanding graduation quotas. They’ll destroy the whole concept and end the program. It’s what they do.

The Janissaries (Ottoman Turkish: يڭيچرى yeñiçeri [jeniˈt͡ʃeɾi], meaning "new soldier") were elite infantry units that formed the Ottoman Sultan's household troops, bodyguards and the first modern standing army in Europe.[3][4] The corps was most likely established during the reign of Murad I (136289).[5] They began as an elite corps of slaves made up of kidnapped young Christian boys who were forced to convert to Islam, and became famed for internal cohesion cemented by strict discipline and order. Unlike typical slaves, they were paid regular salaries. Forbidden to marry or engage in trade, their complete loyalty to the Sultan was expected.[6] By the seventeenth century, due to a dramatic increase in the size of the Ottoman standing army, the corps' initially strict recruitment policy was relaxed. Civilians bought their way into the corps in order to benefit from the improved socioeconomic status it conferred upon them. Consequently, the corps gradually lost its military character, undergoing a process that has been described as 'civilianization'.[7] The corps was abolished by Sultan Mahmud II in 1826 in the Auspicious Incident in which 6,000 or more were executed.[8] History never changes.

More probable — and don’t forget those with johnsons who FEEL like they should have vaginas.
