I agree that the idea of having women serve in the Army in higher numbers to satisfy social engineers is bullcrap.

However, this is a total of six women. And this is ranger school; if they can survive that, well, one should feel free to tell them they cannot be rangers but I’m not gonna tell them that if they make it through. And I do think anyone who has survived Ranger School will know what I mean.

that physical test is a joke for special forces.

I do all that now nearly every day and I am 46. When I was in we went at 8 miles in a hour and half, cross country carrying at least 35 pound and not including gun etc.

I imagine it will be like in “An Officer and a Gentleman” where “Cigar” was allowed to go around the wall on the obstacle course.

I expect them to weaken Ranger school to accommodate the women. That's what they did when they wanted Female Fighter pilots. "Karen Hultgreen" ring a bell?
