All have failed, but 5 may return at some later time from Day 1. This is a regression from the 8 that were recycled a couple of weeks ago.

This article argues the feminist position that since they have all failed, the only recourse is to change the standards so that they can succeed. This is what will happen.

A better article, with some important details on why these students failed the Darby phase for the second time are at this link (can't be posted at FR)

Some Rangers say standards should change

So court martial them for seditious treason already.

Ranger School, which grooms the Army’s most elite special operations fighting force,...

This is a false statement. The Ranger's are not the most elite. They just blow stuff up. Delta is the most elite followed by the SF (Green Beret).

If women can’t do it, the argument goes, then they shouldn’t be Rangers

Pass the damn test or move along...

[bert]

the fact they are women is not relevant. they are all persons.

no person can be a ranger if they don’t measure up

gender has no part of the matter

[Future Snake Eater]

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

There's a lot of truth in that statement, but I suppose it also depends on what type of war you're talking about.

So much for not having special rights astwo of them say they passed now.

I would guarantee that these two women were given an easier pass after this so as to pass and this morning one guy told the media this.

I was having problems carrying the weight and she stepped up and carried some of my weight so I could finish the march.

HUH, so now rangers or those trying to pass don’t have to carry all their weight and can give it to others?

This is a sham by the white house and now the narrative is they passed and we did to make it easier for them.
