On Friday, the Army is expected to announce that all the women who attempted to graduate from Ranger School had officially failed to meet the standards, according to a military source.
Ranger School, which grooms the Armys most elite special operations fighting force, opened its doors to women for the first time this year. Eight of the 20 women who originally entered the school's first co-ed class were allowed to recycle through the program after they fell out in their first go-round. The Friday announcement will confirm that this happened again.
To many, this means the system is working as it should.
The Rangers are the best of the best, and being a Ranger means passing a physical test that pushes body and mind to the breaking point. If women cant do it, the argument goes, then they shouldnt be Rangers.
But there is another opinion quietly being voiced as well: that Ranger School is more akin to a rite of passage an opportunity for men to thump their chest, as one Ranger puts it than a realistic preparation for leading in war. That women can actually make Ranger units more effective. And that the standards that keep them out are outdated.
It is an opinion, perhaps surprisingly, that comes from two current Rangers.

Why should the standards be relaxed just because they were born with a vagina? Is that something that qualifies them to have special treatment?
And scrolled.
Can’t they have one standard for the men and one for the women?
Good point.
“Some Rangers say that soon they will be issued Starship Troopers exo-suits, and muscles and bones won’t matter anymore.”
“Some Rangers say.”
I would be fine with changing our standards for Rangers, provided we can be sure our enemies do the same.
Yes, but not if they are going to be Rangers.
Can some women play in the NFL, if they just have different standards?
Start with your team, see how it works, we’ll all find out in the fall.
Football is just a game, injuries the hazard.
People die in combat, even with the strongest, toughest men you can put in the field.
Add 120# PFC Sally Sweetbreath, and you have basically introduced a “walking wounded” into the unit, where the men will have to take turns carrying her load, and helping her over obstacles, while not raising issues of privacy when going potty out in the bare desert, or jealously or love triangles or favoritism.
Basically, just blow up unit cohesion and make the squad into a Peyton Place drama, on its way to being ambushed or overrun by a SERIOUS military unit.
What a bunch of pu.... oh never mind.
It’s all about deconstrucing America. First woman then trannies. The left is fine with lowering standards so that shemales are our elete force
That is a good line.
apparently some women watch movies like Resident Evil and think they can be just like Alice.
I do wonder do these women soldiers even prepare for the Ranger school or do they rely on their basic training background for preparing?????
The women always want the easy, less physical jobs like cops, office jobs, meter maids, receptionist, teachers, DMV clerks etc. They have no interest in jobs like roofing, house painting, plumbers, mechanics etc.
For the most part women want the power, the bucks and or prestige, but not a job were you physically have to work your butt off daily for 25 years.
Ping.
Look at it this way: when they get orders to deal with US, it'll be like taking candy from a STUPID baby.
All those toys...
In order for women to qualify they must be masculinized.
In order for women to qualify, men must be feminized.
When they lower the standards, any guy who graduates won't know if he graduated because he's good or because his strength is equal a woman's.
Men are going to be SO MESSED UP!
I wish men would man up and reacquaint women with the kitchen...where they belong.
I am a woman. I don’t expect people to change the standards for me just so I can succeed. If those women can’t meet the standards, they shouldn’t be Rangers. Period. Lives depend on it.
It is actually Marxism-—to destroy the US military by destroying Excellence and rewarding mediocrity. Pretending that women are interchangeable with men is pure Marxism and to destroy all biological connections and destroy Individual identity-—for the collective-—group think mindset where there can be no individual excellence which is what created the US Constitution and the most brilliant Western cultures of all time.
To destroy Individualism for the collective—the Leftists have to erase Reason and Logic for “pretending”-—to destroy Reason and Logic-—for dumb, useful idiots. For their utopia, they have to normalize vice like sodomy so children will believe the dumbest things which will flip Good and Evil. Vice creates slaves only. Without Virtue, civil societies collapse.
Destroying Excellence (Virtue) is the MO of Marxists-—to destroy Merit, Freedom, Competition, etc-—to destroy what made Western Civilization superior to all other cultures.
Can’t have the ideology of the heterosexual males who had the greatest minds in the history of man-—which created the greatest, most free country in the history of man.
Minds have to be destroyed-—Reason eliminated, and Vice made normal where competition and merit are destroyed so Excellence is not possible.
Well, being a Pack Mule can be pretty important during a war.
If you are on a mission in a mountainous region where even a real mule could not climb the grades that you will traverse and any air drop of supplies would give away your position and the only supplies you will have are the supplies you carry with you being a pack mule will be the difference between success and failure where failure probably means you are dead.
For the foreseeable future strength and endurance will still be critical attributes for Special Operations. A special ops soldier on a mission will have to carry all of the food, water and ammunition he will need on that mission. If that soldier can not carry an 80 to a 100 pound pack on a 5 mile mountainous hike he should not be in a Special Ops battalion. If he is permitted to be there he is putting his life and the lives of his fellows at unnecessary risk.
I am surprised that Ranger officer would suggest otherwise. I guess he is bucking for that star.
