Naval Special Warfare says no women have met standards.

Naval special warfare jobs have been open to women for a year but no women are in the pipeline yet, and Navy officials concede it may be some time before a woman makes it into either a SEAL team or into the Special Warfare Combat Crewman field.

Naval Special Warfare head RADM Tim Szymanski recently told an industry conference that several women have tried to get into the pipeline but have not met physical standards...

When women were accepted in naval aviation the word was that they WOULD pass women through tacair (VF, VA), period. We then had the Hultgren and Lorenz scandals, et al.

Heck, you already know the answer to that. We are barely smarter than the average rock. Our government and military are too busy doing what is PC to properly apply areas of higher female proficiency. Doing so would require acknowledgement that men and women are different. And of course we know they are not - our government told us so.

There are also scale issues. Israel can have highly controlled screening for flights because they don't have hundreds of airports scattered across 50 states. Managing such a program scaled for the Israeli military is very different than managing a similar program scaled to ours.

Because it’s so politically incorrect you seldom ever hear it said, but apparently there is a widespread belief that the feminization of a country’s culture, and especially its government and its military, will inevitably cause its destruction.

Let’s hope they don’t lower the standards to allow chicks like the green berets did.

God knows that idiot Ray Mabus tried to water down the SEALs during his reign. Good for the SEALs for not bowing to the PC gods.
