You would be wrong.
Getting reports they did well. Note that one of the three still failed.
From what I am told they took honest notes from their recycle, and improved in every phase.
The army community, for the most part, has no interest in anyone handed a tab.
On the other hand, they are prepared to celebrate those who earn it.
Reports are these ladies earned it.
No special scoring tables, no slack given by their male compatriots.
Some will still gripe, but for the most part this is seen as doing it the hard way and doing it the right way.
I have no idea what you really know but what you said is incorrect. It has to be.
You see the Rangers, Air Force PJs, Seals, Delta Force etc, are the very best of the best. The very best of the best men.
You obviously have no idea of the performance differences between the very best women and the best men. It is not just a little bit. It is day and night.
As I mentioned before, I attended college on scholarship. I was not the fastest sprinter on our team but I could run a 10.4 hundred meters and that is electrically timed. I could easily have beaten the fastest woman in the world.
Do you not understand how much that differs from what you see on TV and in the Movies? We had another guy, James Batie who on a given day, beat the world record holder. I once saw him do it.
James would have been able to beat the best woman and run along beside her pointing his finger at her then speed up and beat her easily.
The same thing applies to other events such as weightlifting. Throwing the discus, putting the shot and on and on.
The difference is so great that a very good, well excellent high school boy can beat the women’s world record in most events.
Those up the chain of command don’t want their promotion train halted.
Getting reports the standards were lowered. Peer evaluations ignored. Hygiene regimen and optempo relaxed.
“The army community, for the most part, has no interest in anyone handed a tab.”
Kind of like when the political General hacks appointed by Obama hacks, support the President’s initiatives. You seriously think that nobody in the Army, wanted this women’s oak leaf cluster to go down.
I was in the 82nd ABN division. None of these women, who “passed”, could make it 6 months in an Infantry Unit in Division. So, no I aint buying this BS. And I knew some tough little paratroopers that were women. But, no way they can do what we had to do for even 6 months.
