soldiers must complete at least 49 pushups, 59 sit ups, six chin-ups and a timed five-mile run.

I wonder how many of the old women (some of them NEVER in the military themselves) who pushed for the young women to join the rangers could pass these tests themselves ???
Even 200 of the men could not keep up the pace etc...
When more of those 8 females drop out will there be an outcry to lower the standards ???
I could do that at 50 years old, easily, before I retired from the Navy in 2013. Surface Navy, not SEALS. So the standard for the Rangers, SOF, is that easy?
I smell a skunk.
Baloney!
