As many here suspected all along... the fix was in. I'm surprised People is the one breaking this story though. They're a fairly politically correct soft entertainment magazine, so I'm surprised to see that they are actually breaking a story that other journalists are avoiding.

Of course it was fixed. No woman one can pass Army Ranger School, Delta Force, Navy Seals, Air Force Pararescue, Air Force Combat Controller, or Marine Force Recon. Physically impossible if they have exact same requirements as men. Requirements were lowered and as a result men will die.

It seems as though some MSM sources might have noticed the general foul mood of the population on account of the ruling elite constantly trying to force us to eat their sh*t sandwich, and may be starting to do some real reporting.

Or maybe not.

Of course the fix was in. Obama is determined to destroy the military.

I just don’t understand this. I spent over twenty years in my own nation’s military and there were plenty of courses I couldn’t have passed - and indeed, one that I actually attempted and failed. I still found a place where I could serve and be of value, and have never felt a failure because there was something else I couldn’t do.

I’d honestly have no problem with anyone who can pass doing these jobs - including women - but it has to be on the basis that they meet the standards.

Knowing that there were standards for the jobs I couldn’t do, made me proud to meet the standards of the jobs I could. Any service is honourable service.

Yes, the fact that leftist magazine PEOPLE is reporting this story out puts its sister magazine “Time” to shame.....they are owned by the same company

Women do not qualify at the US Army Ranger Course.

Special treatment equals they did not pass just like the guys did.

In an economy of dwindling opportunities, these “tokens” actually create set-asides for white guys (to do the real work). In my own experience (non-military - just a basic office environment) men do the work while women have graduated from making coffee and answering the phones to running football pools and shopping online. The lawyers are kept at bay, and men get the work done.

FR was all over this from the get-go. While this ain’t “proof”, there’s too many diverse people to be a conspiracy.
and it does make one pause and go...hmmm.

First place I saw it was from DesertRhino who reported it from Rush, here on a women SEALS thread:

What PT standard did they use?? When I was in they were different for females, they had to do less, or given more time.

I have told that there was only ONE PT standard for Airborne School, and that was the one for 18-20 year olds. No matter what your age that was the standard.

Where’s that colonel who signed up on free republic to lecture us we were sexist and he knew better?

While Matt Bracken was missing I might add...lol
