This needs to be seen by POTUS.
Mad Dog ain’t so much a mad dog is he? Couldn’t our COMMANDER IN CHIEF undo this stupidity with one fell swoop of his pen????
A lot of people are going to end up getting killed over this idiocy.

This is the gynocentric society we exist in today.
Men see the obvious problems.
Women are oblivious to the problems.
Hey! Keeping pantyhose clean in the mud isn’t exactly easy ok!?! Now shutup and hand me an MRE. Mama’s gotta eat.
Very few men—and no women, ever—are good enough to become Green Berets.
Please tell me that this is a joke.
If this poorly written article did not have over-the-top histrionic rants typical of conservative blogs, it would be taken more seriously.
..........reading this I keep thinking that any day now we could need some guys to go “Fight” and this crop of so called “Green Beret’s” are going to embarrass themselves and the nation....................!
When that went down, I had some discussions with my niece's then boyfriend, now fiance.
I've posted his comments before, but will post again. This from Fall 2015.
Comments from my niece’s boyfriend on the women Rangers and the convenient loss of their training records a week or so ago. Applies here too.
He was a Marine 240 gunner, spent time in Afghanistan, this guy is serious business, we probably wish he’d gone to SEAL school, he’d have had a much better than average shot at it. Here’s his commentary on the Ranger school records debacle:
“Oh trust me, I’m aware. S*** makes my blood boil. I’m not even phased by the fact that they’re deliberately hiding the records of the females’ performance. I can only imagine how heavily that course was catered to the females, not to mention the fact that they probably outranked the entire instructor cadre.
We had a female interpreter in afghan, she was at the Company COP so I never saw her. She ended up having an affair with our Co 1st Sgt (surprise).
We also worked with the Brits for a while, since they had a patrol base not far from my squads pb. They also happened to bring in a female interpreter...pregnant in under 2 months, and sent home. Probably got an award for it.
Even if there were females that could meet the minimum physical requirements for the infantry, that s*** will never work. It’ll be detrimental to the combat effectiveness of whatever unit they end up in. Let’s not forget the American “victim” mentality as of late. I can’t even fathom how many sexual harassment cases that would be filed. Then the rape accusations, pregnancies, relationships affecting roles and promotions, oh and the fact that no woman on the planet could firemans carry my 240lb a** with 100+lbs of gear out of a kill zone.
Rant over.
< next email, a few minutes later>
Ok I lied, rant wasn’t finished.
At the schoolhouse I taught at, we brought in non infantry units (POGs) and put them through several infantry centric courses. We had a strict standard of training and had no issues failing females or Marines that outranked us as instructors. This brought us some attention from higher ups on one occasion. A female warrant officer brought pizza for all 50 of “her” marines in our course. During their final exercise. We stopped her and reminded her of the fact that no outside food was permitted in our course. She returned with, “The four females I have in the class are going to feel sexually harassed by you if you don’t let them eat this pizza”.
It’s been years since I have been able to encourage young men to enlist. We are rapidly approaching the point where I am going to start actively discouraging enlistment.
My dad was Special Forces during Vietnam. He’d roll over in his grave, hearing this.
Changing the name does not equate to automatic upgrade in ability.
I can just see stopping a 20 hour march during Robin Sage so some woman can nurse her 6 month-old child who will be fastroped in to be fed.
This will be resolved rather quickly when the body bags full of raped and mutilated female soldiers become pile high enough.
Active Duty ping.
I have no reason to doubt what he wrote about the current state of SF,
but I to am a 1985 graduate of ROTC basic (B-19-4). While it was demanding, and I remember tossing my cookies on more than one training event, it was not quite what is written above.
