turning the US military into a feminist laboratory is insane and needs to be rolled back.

I spent almost 40 years in the Army National Guard and sent two of the toughest SOBs in my section / platoon to Ranger school. They both ran marathons on a regular basis, maxed the pushups and situps, and both flunked Ranger school. It is NOT easy. Their biggest problem was negotiating walls and other vertical barriers.

I’ll say this much for women in the military. I knew two female helicopter pilots who grew up in the Huey choppers and as a team won the US Army precision flying competition when the Blackhacks came into the Army inventory. We watched them at the Henson Mountain Helicopter Range on Ft Hood, and if you took your eyes off them, you’d probably not see them again until they were flying away.

For decades, completion of Ranger School has been the best indicator for determining which young men can handle the enormous responsibility of combat leadership

I did have to chuckle at this one. We had two Platoon Leaders, both tabbed, get fired during my combat tour in Iraq--one of them was for cowardice.

I’m still waiting for the first homosexual rape at Ranger school.

What's wrong with having Ranger chicks?

The “dumbing down” of training standards, and a weakening of the Ranger ethos, coupled with stripping the branch of the service of all physical standards and, in consequence, effectiveness, would follow as night follows day, and yet another priceless institution would fall to the PC demons.

This is, quite plainly and simply, madness.

Whatever chair polishing Pentagon general came up with this idea should be broken in rank and sent to shovel sh*t in Nome, Alaska.

Alas, things being what they are, he’ll probaly get a promotion.

They already allow homosexuals and muslims. Why not women too?

Boy are these girls going to be disappointed.

MSNBC is reporting the pentagon is considering modifying the Ranger patch to read Rangerettes directly under the traditional Ranger name, but in slightly smaller letters.
