To day this day it stands true that there are no women in the Navy SEALs. This has been debated by many “equal rights” groups who claim that this is a sexist law. However, there has never been a woman who could pass the strenuous physical aspects of Navy SEAL training. In fact, there has never been a woman who has qualified to even be considered to enter BUD/S Training.
Though this is true of the United States Navy, it’s not true where film is concerned. Specifically for the 1997 Ridley Scott film G.I. Jane, wherein, Demi Moore plays a woman who is training to become the very first female Navy SEAL. The film portrays Demi Moore’s character as a very driven women who wants to make a bold statement that “women can do everything that a man can do”. This film was considered by many associated with the Navy SEALs to be very controversial.
Regardless of whether you support female Navy SEALs or not, the film G.I. Jane is an intriguing action/drama that comes off more like a political statement in the end. Even G.I. Jane herself begins to question her motives and whether or not she could successfully carry out missions just as well as the other physically fit men around her.
For now, female Navy SEALs are just a work of Hollywood magic and it is believed that in the near future there will be no female Navy SEALs. However, many are hopeful that this could change in the many years to come.

Interesting how pop culture's created this "Super Woman" image, stereotype. Some gals, particularly the young ones, have really bought into the ruse, too.
For example there were a couple lesbians who went into a honky tonk bar on a Friday night in a rough side of Champaign, IL. Started dancing, then kissing. The place being packed with rednecks naturally went ballistic.
One of the idiot rug-munchers challenged a redneck, invited 'em into the parking lot to "settle matters".
He went.
Minutes later an ambulance was called. A broken Lesbian. Missing *all* her front teeth, severe bruises etc. carried away on a stretcher.
Since the local rag caters to the Univ of IL crowd, the headline screamed outrage over this "attack".
Just the way things are in Champaign, IL. LOL
We've all been told for years that "females have to meet the same standards as males in the Armed Forces."
No way!
How many males can stay in the Army if they can only do 15 pushups to save their lives?
How many males can have hair down to their shoulders?
How many males can wear jewelry and makeup in uniform?
Women absolutely have lower and/or different standards than men in the military. Women have different standards for their uniform and appearance, physical fitness and grooming standards.
Whoever thinks that women must meet the EXACT standard than men in the military is kidding themselves.
“However, there has never been a woman who could pass the strenuous physical aspects of Navy SEAL training.” Oh THAT’s easy for the Feminst “Social” “Engineers” Just dumb the test.
Intravenously ..... and Thanks for that ... can't help it ... home schooled, dad a former Marine pilot, uncle flew choppers in 'Nam, two brothers one a chopper pilot Army the other a weapons officer. Both served in Iraq. Had quite the 'male' upbringing.
If there are NO Female seals, where do BABY seals come from?
Women tend to have better fine motion skills than men. fly by wire helps reduce muscle power required, but don’t make up for and even emphasize fine motor coordination.
Women’s use of both sides of their brain is an advantage. Men tend to do more processing on one side, then code it, then route it to the other side for more processing. Information and time is lost in the coding process.
Experience makes up for a lot of difference in natural skills. If you practice something 10,000 times, you get pretty good.
“If there are NO Female seals, where do BABY seals come from?”
I’ve only known one SEAL, and by looking at him I don’t think he *had* a mother.
:)
For crying out loud, they aren't Rangers or Special Forces, they pack parachutes for them or as you said merely assigned to them to do that service.
