I have heard that the female Ranger trainees had substantially different policies from the men.

All the females were sent to to the 2 week RTAC pre-training.

Women were provided support from a nutritionist, and a Ranger “coach”.

Women were not eliminated from the course, except for medical reasons or quitting. If they failed a phase or received negative peer reviews, they were recycled through RTAC and then back through with the next class (rested and re-fed).

Out of more than a hundred sent to RTAC, two finally graduated, after an unspecified number of re-cycles (but both were re-cycled).

I suspect that the more you dig, the more advantages you would find for those female trainees.

“I thought we were going to be dropped after we failed Darby [obstacle course] the second time,” Griest said at the press conference. “We were offered a day one recycle.”

As long as everything is on the up and up, the Army can certainly bear a little scrutiny from outside agencies.

Allegedly, MG Miller has some pretty thick skin. He’s a big boy and he can defend himself.

Note: not carrying a rifle (much less the machine gun or radio, although she is probably an officer), not carrying a backpack, provided extra flotation. http://www.people.com/article/female-ranger-school-graduation-planned-advance

Everything about the Obama Administration is corrupt.

These people learned a lot from the gloal warming scinetists data fudgers. Namely they are actively trying to destroy their evidence and grossly intimidating those whod tell the truth.

And they say we arent to be trusted with weapons. Futher muckers.

Trained to the “highest integrity”....

Not in Obucketoshit administration. There is nothing but lies and more lies.

When history opens up Obucketofpukes tomb in 100,000 years, there will be a great big scream, LIARRRRRRR, come from it.

This guy gives POS a bad name.

He puts ruin in ruination.

He puts crap in crapola.

I have never hated like I hate this Kenyan before. I want to see him bought up on charges of treason and if found guilty. summarily executed, live across America so that all that voted for him will see what happens to a traitor.

Truth is anathema to sexuality-obsessed, man-hating, gun-fearing, freedom-fearing, Godless girlieman progressives.

I’m guessing that there will not be many more, if any, female Ranger candidates. Their wearing of their “No Sweat” patch will subject them to ridicule and ostracization by other Rangers. So, it will have zero value as a career enhancer.

Of course the cover-up itself is the answer.

If there was no special treatment the Army would be eager to share every detail of their training.

Sources on the ground there tell me the third “graduate” was in the class for months before finally “completing” the course. They apparently had unlimited recycle opportunities and were treated like foreign officers in various Army schools, not possible for them to fail.

Once again we see military officers putting career over country. I would fire every three and four star officers and start over.
