All you described was a fit, athletic girl, a long, long ways from being able to meet the demands of Special Operations requirements.

I'm not going to argue with you about the mental stress Special Forces face. But it is not wise to say no to talent and will for those who are willing. That is not to say I am demanding that women should be in combat roles or should be welcomed in Special Forces. All I am saying is that it is not wise to say no to those who measure up physically, mentally and emotionally. That means they have to measure up NOT DOWN. I despise the dumbing down of society. If you can't cut it then you can't go. Period.
