As to meeting the same “standards”, have you heard about the two FEMALE Rangers who were given around six(6)retries as well as help so they could pass and become Rangers.
Ask the Rangers what they think about women in combat units.
When I was in the USAF under Carter they integrated women into some of our noncombat support units and ONLY 1 woman out of the dozen or so could do their job and she was the exception (Irish girl from Minnesota who was tough as nails, what an Irish temper. Most would just flirt with some of the guys and get them to do it for them!
The Muslim/Socialist President and his “Progressive” allies will do as they have done before, just lower the standards so that any woman could just walk right in.
Obviously, that experiment failed.
But I am not prepared, yet, to believe that the US Army has been totally corrupted and degraded by today's political correctness.
I am fully prepared to give them the benefit of the doubt, that they can pull this off and be better for it.
I've now pointed out several times that qualifying for the toughest, most dangerous jobs must necessarily be limited to the best of the best men, to say nothing of women.
If standards are maintained, there will be very, very few women who qualify, and those that do will be, ahem, tough as nails.
Then we still have to learn if they can function well in a cohesive, effective unit.
If they do, I have no problem with it, if not, I would expect the experiment to end, at some point.

Exactly, that's the Army of One I'm talking about.
