Any woman that believes that she has what it takes to be a REAL Ranger or Seal needs to be knocked on their ass ... and it wouldn’t take a real Ranger or Seal to do it
Yep. Soon you will have replies that so and so’s daughter joined the Army and did such and such and beat ALL the men blah blah blah.
Nope, nope, and nope.
I heard our idiotic COC speaking to grads at a female college- telling them they could all be combatant commanders-and I almost threw up.
What the HELL? Very few women can do their job in the military. Even if they are good at their job. My friend is deploying to AFG in a few months- surprise- and she just gained custody of her kids. Because she will be training and gone so much before the deployment, she has to get a full time nanny to live with her kids. And then her ex will probably get full custody back while she deploys. She is a mess right now.
I respect her service, but wouldn’t want to be in her shoes.
And everybody who has served in Combat Arms or supporting Combat Arms knows that very few females Soldiers can actually meet standards- especially over a long time, as they have kids, etc.
It’s so dangerous that our culture believes that the 5’5”, 135 lb physically fit female Soldier can take on the 5’7” 165 lb physically fit male Soldier. Yeah, sure she can. Just like Buffy the Vampire Slayer beat up all those vampires.
And I am a former female Soldier, and I have deployed. I am married to a current Active Duty Soldier for 20 plus years.
Thank you, all female vets and currently serving female Soldiers. But please don’t take up the slots at Ranger school.
