Thanks and great info. I know one guy for a long time. He is full of it. I even called the Navy Seals Museum in Ft. Pierce, Florida and he was not listed. What a jerk and a loser.

You honestly believe all 4 of these women deserve their awards when the enlisted women in the Navy is less than 15% of the entire enlisted/NCO ranks?

I wouldn't know. But say, for the sake of argument, that all four winners were black males. Would you be making the same claim?

They just want to PRETEND they are fair when everyone (including these 4 women) know its ALL BULL$HIT!

It's so easy to come to these conclusions when you know absolutely nothing about these women's backgrounds or what they did to earn the awards, isn't it? And also ignoring that four different selection committees came up with these women. No, it's far easier to assume PC and collusion and conspiracy because, after all, a woman can never, ever out-perform a man in anything.

Physically you can't. Get over it! It does not mean that men are better, but physically stronger. Another no brainer...

Listen you can live lala land all you want, but anyone who has half a brain knows that this is complete B.S. This is not good for the Navy period.

One last point if you think those committees have true independence, then I have some beach front property to see you in Nevada.

Look it's going on all over our country. It's called affirmative action. Look it up and quit ignoring what your eyes and ears are telling you. God gave you that for a reason. You are behaving like a sheep heading to the slaughter.

If no affirmative action is involved, and we can assume that they all have to have passing scores in their physical tests, then the men cannot be held to a higher requirement in that category can they?
