First point. I congratulate these two women for successfully complete Ranger School, most men could never have done it.

Second point. Ranger School is a Leadership school, the physical demands and Ranger patrolling environment is a set of conditions designed to push the students beyond their limits of physical and mental capabilities in order to teach leaders how to deal with this limitations. These female students were certainly pushed beyond their limits and they overcome the overwhelming desire to quit. They didn’t quit.

Third point. These peacetime surrogates for the grueling challenges of combat will make these officers better officers, but the demands of the social activists extend beyond the training ground. They demand that combat units, including Special Operations units must embrace females within their ranks in the cause of Social Justice. In this case, social justice will get both men and women killed, and those who demand that our society adapt to their wishes will not be among those who are killed. They want nothing to do with this dirty business and they expect others to do the dying for their political agendas.

Fourth point. Combat sucks and mostly because of the daily grind on your physical and mental limits. Combat is a team sport and those who engage in it are only as good as the weakest member of the team. Paleolithic man, who had never enjoyed an Ivy League education, were not stupid to send their weakest members of the tribe to bring down the Mastodon or the Sabre Tooted Tiger. They were assigned to critical tasks suited to their capabilities and thereby the tribe flourished. Fantasy worlds are nice, but they do not apply when the enemy doesn’t care about your campus sense of social justice.

“First point. I congratulate these two women for successfully complete Ranger School, most men could never have done it.”

These women didn’t complete the school. As usual, they were given passes.
