“I can’t see a woman ever passing BUDS. 80+% of the men can’t pass it.”

They will force the SEALs to pass a woman by whatever means necessary. They did it with pilots and other career fields. They’ll even go so far as to create a new “women only” unit and claim it is the same as the male units (*snicker* I said ‘units’.) then give women all kinds of awards and medals for nothing just to prove it. Before you know it a women will be commander of the male unit. (*snicker* There I go again.)

I know a career field where there were only men for a good reason. The military decided women should make it so they recruited a few. While they were at it, the military thought the current 75% washout rate for classroom was ‘ridiculous’, so they mandated that the program be ‘altered’ to ensure at least 96% passed, which met the usual training pass rate. The women were given the answers to all written exams. The men were given multiple tries to get answers correct including instructors asking test takers, “Are you sure that’s the answer you want to give?” The women graduated the written portion of the training with ‘honors’. The training command performed the classroom portion of training and the duty command completed the remaining training over several years. In field training the physical training washed the women out. The career field was extremely lucky a real commander refused to allow lower standards and there wasn’t any way in Hell the women could pass it. That was in the early 1980’s. That career field no longer exists. It ceased to be viable by 1988. The military is far more PC now to the point that they don’t even try to hide it anymore.
