Rep. Elise Stefanik, R-N.Y., made the announcement in a statement, calling the woman's graduation from the Special Forces Qualification Course "an important and hard-earned milestone."
"This achievement is a testament to this soldier's individual strength, courage and commitment, and also an important institutional milestone for U.S. Special Operations Command as it embraces the cultural change that will continue to make it the most successful and elite Special Operations Force in the world," Stefanik said.

Behold the magic of the vagina?
How many transgender ‘women’ placed better than her?
It was under Obama the military announced women could serve in army front line, combat units. That announcement was coupled with a statement that standards would absolutely not be lowered.
I knew then the army intended to lower the standards.
In the USAF, you can complete Basic and then go to Indoc for PJ’s and CCT’s. I don’t know about other branches.
Something doesn’t add up.
When in high school I could run faster than any woman in the world. Yes, any woman in the world.
I would not have even tried to be a Ranger, Seal or Green Beret. The reason is I knew I could not have passed.
Depends on how long she was in and she may have already done a tour or two in Iraq or Afghanistan. Since they wont ID we’ll just have to guess. My brother in law did several tours with the Texas Air National Guard. he flew F-16’s.
I suppose.
Unless we quickly repeal the 19th amendment our republic is doomed.

If she’s enlisted she has already accomplished quite a bit just to make it to Special Forces let alone finish the course. When I was in you have to have completed both Airborne and Ranger training. Ranger training is really hard on the body!
Who is us?
“...Airborne and Ranger training...”
I think those paths were greased 10+ years ago.
If she can provide cover until somebody else can I’m happy with that. If she has the heart to “fight” I’ll overlook a few short comings. I served with allot of men that couldn’t have hauled my ass out.
Not me, but as a society Americans seem to want women to be able to be in any job in the military.
It’s a mistake.
There is no requirement to complete Ranger School to attend SFAS. When were you enlisted? That has never been a requirement.
That’s not the standard. The standards have been dropped from Airborne and Air Assault School to Pathfinder and Ranger School. The trend has made it to SWC.
Couple of my DIs were tunnel rats.. mean little bast*rds.. and gutsy.
How does she look with a knife between her teeth, a pistol in one hand, a light in the other and dang near naked to squeeze thru openings?
I got out in 72.
