Acording to a comment on another thread, the two women, both West Pointers, were walked through by a “guest” walker - the base general, Scott Miller. That they “graduated” was puely political, as only those two (out of a starting group of 138) made it - after repeatedly failing part of the course and being repeatedly recycled back.

Anyone with real, actual combat experience knows full well that women would be a distraction and failure points within a combat unit. It seems as though retiring to a 7-figure income is far more important than winning wars and keeping your troops alive.
