The U.S. ArmyRanger school has 31 female candidates for its planned Ranger Course Assessment next spring.

The Maneuver Center of Excellence in Fort Benning, Georgia, said on its Facebook page Monday that Fort Benning’s Airborne and Ranger Training Brigade has chosen 11 officers and 20 noncommissioned officers as observers and advisers for the course.

Candidates went through a week of training to give them an idea of the rigors that Ranger School inflicts upon soldiers.

“I was very satisfied with both the quality and quantity of the volunteers we received,” said Maj. Gen. Scott Miller, commanding general of the Maneuver Center of Excellence.

“Their performance and professionalism over the course of the week was extraordinary. This group did very well for what was a very physically challenging week for any soldier,” he added.

We’ll just continue losing wars, and pretending our new PC military that “looks like America” is effective. The all-male Muslim forces we’ve been facing have now won in Iraq and Afghanistan; where will we send our “modern army” next?

“they will make exceptions for women and call it ‘equal’.”

Why not? They already do it for diplomas, college degrees, jobs, and promotions (for blacks and Hispanics as well as women).
