One of the first women to graduate from the Army's notoriously grueling Ranger School says she hopes her success will go toward proving that women in the military are capable of doing what men do.

Which, I understand, includes six complete chin ups.

I may be wrong, but I believe what they went through was merely a tactical combat course that is open to other branches of service. It is not Ranger Selection . While they rate to wear the RANGER tab those that complete the Ranger Selection and Assessment get the Ranger Scroll and go on to serve in a Ranger Bn

A sad day in several ways. Seeing photos of them with shaved heads, acting like men. It’s depraved.

These women are exceptional; ergo, they are the exceptions, Exceptions prove the rule: Army Ranger training is not for upward of 95% of young women. These two were the only finishers among 19 women. Even those that didn’t make it were undoubtedly better qualified than 99% of ordinary women.

You raise a daughter, and see photos like that. Heartbreaking but nobody will admit it. The American RadFem movement has borne it’s perfect fruit.

women "can deal with the same stresses and training that men can."

Two women. How many men? There are very few men who can complete Ranger training. There are far fewer women. The failures are more telling than the successes.

(this)show(s) that women "can deal with the same stresses and training that men can."

How many (hand-picked) women can do what (many) men can? Apples to oranges!!!

I saw this syndrome back in the 70's as a USMC Naval Aviator. The Navy decided to allow female pilots. If a man wanted to become a Navy or Marine Pilot, he had to volunteer, qualify physically and mentally, endure and pass all the training and basically prove himself qualified every day to win the wings of gold.

In contrast, the Navy sent scouts all over the country searching out women who were already civilian pilots and massaged their journey through Navy Flight Training.

Then - "Oh, look; women can do what men do!"

Yeah, OK.

One positive thing I gleaned from the article is that both of these women had strong fathers who influenced and mentored them. Feminazis, take note.

Steinem never was at risk of death being in the service.
Nevr worried about equality of the draft.

Ain't buyin' it.

is it routine to give men 3 bites at the apple?

And the calistentics requirements are very weak. I'm almost 60 and can pass that easily.

I suspect that the commanding general got a visit and someone said "The pRESIDENT is watching and he would be very disappointed if women did not make the cut. Oh and by the way, General, since your review is coming up it would be a shame if you didn't get another star."

Meanwhile the Russians, Chinese and the muzzies are laughing their asses off.

maybe we can put them in charge of the homes and trannys.

I suppose we won't find out the truth until soetoro is out of office and a retired Ranger spills the beans.

They won’t be wearing the Ranger scroll, unless some “genius” in the Pentagon caves in to the White Hut. Well, genius is probably not the right word.

As has already been pointed out across the internet, who would you want to rescue you from a rapidly burning wreck or multi-story structure, one of these want-to-be man-women, or just a trained firefighter?

This argument is really not about the brains, it’s about physical and emotional triggers.
