Once women are given slots at Ranger School, they WILL pass, in numbers and proportions that were dictated very clearly to all of the officers in the chain of command.

This WILL happen. In the military, career-minded officers follow legal orders, or they quit. If they quit, their replacement will follow the orders.

And that is how we will have female Rangers. By orders coming down the chain from the political side. And to hide the dilution of the standard, the standard will also be lowered for men, leading to faint-hearted homosexuals and others passing.

And in ten years, a Ranger tab won’t mean shit.

But that’s not the worst of it. Who cares about pride in tradition? Move on! Okay, I get that.

But if we are forced to fight a REAL WAR, not on our terms, not where we own the air and battle space, (think Korea, 1950), we are going to get SLAUGHTERED when unit integrity totally breaks down, when boyfriends are busy protecting girlfriends (and boyfriends!), instead of running toward the sound of the guns with weapon in hand.

Our military in the field will get SLAUGHTERED when the unit cohesion crumbles to dust. When it’s enemy aircraft and missiles flying overhead, not our own, all the time.

In 1950 our Army broke in Korea, and was almost run out of the country, but in hte end it reformed and held until reinforcements arrived, But Just Barely.

When the next Korea 1950 happens, our military will break completely.

That’s why this PC fantasy bullshit is so dangerous. It doesn’t matter in little wars where we control and shape the battle space. It will mean utter destruction under the suddenly imposed total combat conditions of VN Tet, Korea 1950, etc.
