Yep, they shut down training at SWCS this afternoon so the GB instructors could meet with the General. The High Command is on a witch hunt to nail the person who wrote the letter.

FWIW, I’ve watched the standards change from 1987. They’ve gone from quality to quantity; IMO, because if they don’t keep the enlisted slots filled, they lose officer slots.

If they halted training, that means this email hit a big nerve. Good for him! Its time someone told the truth about how rotten the core of the military is after years of political correctness and left wing indoctrination.

“’The cruelty of the situation is that any woman with the fortitude to attempt this training would most definitely have wanted the standards to remain the same,’ according to the message. ‘It is a point of pride to know you are every bit as capable as the best of the best, if you can do it. But they have been robbed of the ability to earn that achievement.

‘Knowing there are officially no physical barriers to earning the Green Beret cheapens the experience for everyone involved, including the population it is misguidedly meant to assist.’”

ouch...
