My opinion of Ranger School training has been diminished. I thought that only 1 in 8 or 10 made it through, like the SWCCs or SEALs.

If a woman can make it through an elite military training course, then she deserves to be there. If, on the other hand, they have to lower the requirements, then she only endangers the safety of the others that she serves with.

We have elite forces for a reason and our enemies are brutal and unforgiving. To allow diminished requirements for our elite forces only serves to make them less elite and less likely to prevail in a conflict.

How about if she and her commanding officer begin a romantic relationship? Think it will affect his decisions? And consequently affect the welfare of the other soldiers? What’s the solution? Just never begin down that road. The same goes for homosexuals in combat roles.
