Just because a woman can run, swim and cycle under her own weight in no way means she’s a candidate for Ranger School. The biggest physical requirement is the ability to hump a monstrous ruck. Mine weighted over 70lbs and I only weighed 130lbs at the time.

And, OF COURSE they’ll fudge the standards and tests. That’s what the Army always does with women in combat roles or inter-sex training.

The Army isn’t the only one who fudges stats and forces women who arent qualified through. I was in the Navy while the brass were shoving through unqualified aviators through carrier quals. It was an unmitigated disaster and the brass knew it but they were intent on seeing the first women to qualify for carrier landings out in the fleet. The political brass does not care about readiness. You only have to look as far as women serving on subs. It’s the worst idea out there but it is happening.
I would never, EVER serve in today’s military. And, god willing, neither will any of my kids.
