here we go... here we go...Snake for lunch might make some others rethink their career path.
Isn’t Affirmative Action wonderful.
Pray America is waking
Was it the same standard or affirmative action?
They'd better not get rid of the slit trench!
Two of the 5 are likely to suffer injuries during the actual Ranger Course, and at least one more will fail for lack of stamina or inability to pass the required patrols. My prediction is that 2 might graduate.
They used to have an annual rattlesnake roundup in Freeport, FL. Rangers from Eglin AFB would always be there serving free rattlesnake.
I don’t guess they cooked it that way in the field but they would cut them up, batter and deep fry them. Those who tried it said it was good. It actually looked good but I just couldn’t quite get up the nerve to try it.
even after lowering the standards, we know what will happen
What civilians don’t know about courses that are to improve our military readiness, is that when women show up, real soldiers lose those slots, there are never enough slots.
I had a very good chance, almost a sure thing of getting to go to French Commando school in the 1980s but some females from the MI battalion we were attached to got involved making demands, and the French just dropped the plan entirely.
Hopefully that means they aren’t bending standards to pass women.
Five tough broads!
I will say this bluntly and for only one reason; the survival of our republic. This PC bull crap needs to stop in our military. Women do not belong in combat. They do not belong in combat units. They can serve the nation in other ways, like being faithful wives to the men who go to war. The time, effort and money going to PC bull crap weakens our nation. The lack of focus it creates weakens our nation. We need to focus on killing and breaking things in the most economical manner and stop giving a crap about political correctness.
What’s next, SEALs? Puppet 0dumbo is weakening America just as the Muslim-controlled U.N. wants him to.
Ok, they passed a prep course. Kudos.
It’s not passing the actual course.
At hte same time over 80% of women failed the prep course. It’s not surprising even though I am sure they did their best. A lot of guys can’t pass the prep course. They don’t get articles written about their best attempts.
Lets see 80% of the women failed vs 33% of the men.....
Just hope nobody posts any pictures of the female selectees...
My son is currently an army ranger. He told me that last year the army had a female Olympic athlete try the course with the team of guys. They had exactly the same things as they asked the guys to do. She lasted two days and said no woman should ever be subjected to that and in her opinion no woman would ever be able to actually complete the course at the same level of difficulty as what they have the men do.
pingAw Great. :-(
They didn’t have a prep course in my day. (unless you count Jump School)
I can’t imagine going through Ranger School with a female, although I guess if you go through it in winter like I did, Sharing some body heat to stay warm with a female Ranger Buddy could be less weird than with a male one.
Hell, most men don't complete the course. Graduation rates historically hover between 20- 50%. This whole female Ranger Kabuki dance is pre-set with lowered standards to ensure that a few females get tabbed. There are already a platoon of female staff officers inserted into the process to assure success. The whole program is designed to further feminize our combat arms branches. The senior Army "leadership" is fully on board and stacking the deck at the peril of combat readiness and unit cohesion. General Odierno (non Ranger) is pushing it as I'm sure he's getting his marching orders from the feminazi, homo infested DoD and White Hut, including the puppet General Dempsey, another non Ranger pogue.
There are a hell of alot of good men who either failed to graduate from this grueling course or never had the chance to secure a school quota to even attend. I'm ashamed for them and anyone who has earned the Ranger tab up to this point.

Are there affirmative action standards on the battlefield?
I am not a vet (worked with them at a VA), but I am curious.
Active Duty ping.
