ELVERUM, Norway — An explosion just a few feet away rocks the unmarked station wagon as it travels along a dirt road in the Norwegian woodland.

Immediately, two soldiers jump from their front seats and run for cover behind the carcass of an old, rusty tank. Firing their weapons at targets along the snow-covered hillside, they call for support from the rest of their unit.

This firefight is just a drill, but the soldiers taking part are battling to break down one of the final barriers to women serving in the armed forces. They are training to become part of Norway's Jegertroppen or "Hunter Troops" — the world's first all-female military special forces unit.

All leftist PC BS. Been there, done that. Never met a chick who could throw 150lbs of kit on and function. Not once did I see it. These idiots who believe a chick can do everything a man can do, are gonna get good men killed.

I didn’t see anything “special” about these special forces babes other than the fact they are female (hopefully born that way).

IMO, just more leftist PC garbage.

Of course you are right and that is why all the girls serve together.

No man would want them in their combat unit simply because they would be unable to perform at the same level as another man meaning they would endanger the lives of all the other men when the shtf.

The medic should treat the wounds. You can’t seriously be worried about this non-issue.

It is a non issue. Women should never be in combat.

Any country willing to put females into the combat arms trades needs to reevaluate their moral standards.
