Captain Kristen Griest will become America's first ever female Army infantry officer as she graduates from training today.

She has completed the Maneuver Captains Career Course at Fort Benning, Georgia, passing a two-month leadership course necessary for holding a command position.

Captain Griest has already completed Ranger and Airborne School and could take charge of her infantry unit of about 150 soldiers in Spring next year.

How long does it take for her to urinate when she is dressed in combat gear?

Commanders are responsible for the lives of their men. The mere act of accepting command of a combat infantry unit demonstrates that she does not value their lives. This is a selfish act for her own personal glory. And it will cost good men their lives.

Best post. Exactly right. Her hypocrisy damns her. She KNOWS she's incompetent, but she's willing to risk her own troops lives for her ego. She's the opposite of a leader.

Her Ranger school records, which remain available for EVERY OTHER GRADUATE, remain unavailable.

Go figure.

Women don’t understand two key issues here: First, that interjection of females into all male units DESTROYS morale among men. Secondly, women need to KNOW that there are A LOT of men who could NOT handle her position, so how could SHE possibly handle it?

Any bets on when the first female infantry officer gets impregnated by one of her troops?

President Trump will demand to see her records. If unavailable then he’ll make HER unavailable and UNqualified!

My Co A platoon in WW II was headed by a Lt. A captain headed a Company, some 250 men, I think.. still pretty good.

We had a female captain in charge of our Field Artillery School (USAFASFS) Office Basic Course back in 1988. She led a 12 mile ruck march and, when it was over, one guy walked over and picked up her ruck. She had a PILLOW inside. That’s all. I had 70 pounds of sand because I was training for Ranger School.

“This will get guys killed in combat.”

WRONG! None of the “guys” will be killed.

There’s a whole week in every month that a woman is not at her best.

You know it's a lie when they won't let anyone see the proof.

How long before she quits, then sues the Army for a hostile work environment because those under her command did not respect her un-earned authority?

No offense to the female members of the armed forces that post here, but I’m da*m glad my kid isn’t being led by this officer.

She is a PC joke and an embarrassment. Has this degenerate no conscience or integrity. She should resign and skulk away in shame before she gets people killed.
