Way back in January, long before the first women attended the Army's elite Ranger School – one of the most grueling military courses in the world – officials at the highest levels of the Army had already decided failure was not an option, sources tell PEOPLE.
"A woman will graduate Ranger School," a general told shocked subordinates this year while preparing for the first females to attend a "gender integrated assessment" of the grueling combat leadership course starting April 20, sources tell PEOPLE. "At least one will get through."
That directive set the tone for what was to follow, sources say.
"It had a ripple effect" at Fort Benning, where Ranger School is based, says a source with knowledge of events at the sprawling Georgia Army post. "Even though this was supposed to be just an assessment, everyone knew. The results were planned in advance."

They blame an unknown General for giving the order, but does anyone not think the order came directly from the white house?
Pingy.
FYI
Of course it was fixed. It was the equivalent of throwing spaghetti against the wall, eventually something will stick.
If you run hand-picked, selected women at the program, eventually you will find someone who can pass in some fashion.
Ahh just go ahead and let those female Rangers go out onto the battlefield. No special assistance, coddling or female protectionism. Lets see what happens. I’m pretty sure I know but let nature make her point.
You may be missing the point. It seems whomever passed was passed DESPITE their lack of qualifications. IOW, the woman who was passed, had she been a he and performed identically, would NOT have passed.
"On May 7, less than three weeks into the course, a highly placed Army source told PEOPLE that no women remained in Ranger School. Then something changed. "The women were called in to see the general," said the source, referencing Miller, who oversees Ranger School. "He told them they could not quit – too much time and money had been devoted to bringing them here," the source said. "
There are many sad examples of what lies in store when principle be damned. What will the future bring as we sink deeper into the abyss. Can’t end on a negative note, so let’s also say, that principle and God wait patiently to be restored to their rightful place.
The claim of Maj. Gen. Scott Miller has become extremely dubious, especially since he now refuses to discuss specific details which might refute what he said.
Miller is starting to look like a demonicrat.
The input I got third hand was that a Senior NCO at the Camp stated the entire unit those 2 women were in, got more rest and food than any other unit before.
My conjecture was, “ya...30 minutes more rest and 500 calories more food each day would make a big difference”.

ISIS would love it if all Navy Seals and Army Rangers were women. So would Obozo.
Maj Gen. Scott Miller is a disgrace to his uniform.
I heard from my military friends in the know that the obstacle courses were also altered (by adding ramps, steps, and convenient logs and dirt piles) to help the ladies along in the assessments.
If so, it will come out, eventually.
This whole vagina worship thing is getting on my nerves. Women on military front lines. Fire fighters. Hillary. Carly. Affirmative Action - glass ceiling. Enough already!
People magazine is popular fodder for the low-info voter.
But my gut tells me the networks will fight tooth and nail to keep this quiet.
If you saw those two walking down the street, you would never know they are supposed to be women.
It is not the ‘course standards’ that are being changed.
I notice that nicely parsed Clintonian response. Why not just hand your Ranger patch back and your balls to because obviously those in charge would rather have power than integrity
As long as no men have to be there with them... I don’t want good soldiers killed because of political correctness
