The standards absolutely should not be dropped, and it seems like someone in leadership is doing the right thing by keeping standards the same.
That said, I think it is important to give women who really want it the opportunity to strive to be worthy of a ranger tab: I believe there probably are one or two women with the grit, drive, and sufficient physical strength to earn the tab.... God bless each one of them for trying, both the men and the women, and thank God we live in a culture that respects women enough to let them try.
Horse manure. The Army, and especially the combat arms branches within it, was never intended to be a grand sociology experiment to promote fairness to anyone. This isn't a damned collegiate sports team or a tv show reality talent contest. The Army's primary mission has always been up until recent history, to win this nation's wars. That meant killing people and breaking things. It's damned hard work. Ugly work. Deadly work. Enter females as infantry ground combatants into that equation and you have a recipe for disaster on many levels, not just because of a lack physical endurance either. Allowing females to fill assignments in combat arms units leads to a degradation of the Army to fulfill its ultimate roll in defending the nation.
Now, the leftist feminists have a firm grip on the DoD military leadership's balls and are calling the shots. This has NOTHING to do with "opportunity" or enhancing military combat readiness. It has everything to do with spreading a raging whacko leftist "feminist" agenda.
There are some places that WOMEN do not belong. One is in a US Infantry company.
