CNN)Two women are about to make history by becoming the first female soldiers to graduate from the Army's exhausting Ranger School.

They're among the 96 students who will graduate from the intensive training program Friday in Fort Benning, Georgia.

This was the first year the Army opened the course to women on a trial basis.

"This course has proven that every Soldier, regardless of gender, can achieve his or her full potential," Secretary of the Army John M. McHugh said in a statement.

And if anyone believes these two gals didn't get preferential treatment and the physical fitness test was lowered for them I have some good ocean front property in Arizona to sell you. How long now before we hear of a couple of females that have completed Seal training.

Congratulations on your being a Ranger ladies.

-Now we will drop you out of a plane in some hell hole and you can fight your way out. You will have little water, food or comfort. You may die or be maimed.

Have a nice day.

The left just LOVES "making history".

Not for any particularly good reason, mind you.

Demi Moore as GI Jane was the first woman SEAL.

Sarcasm.

What happens to these women if they’re captured by the enemy?

Did the Army think about that?

Its OK - they’ll be regaled in song and verse by the MSM as heroes and it’ll all be good. Some mother’s daughter so much fodder for the feminists and their vision of a gender neutral Utopia.

This is supposed to be a step forward for women’s rights, So that’s why this is all over the news.

No, nobody has thought of what happens if women are captured by the enemy. The only thing that matters is political correctness and making political statements for “women’s rights”.

Just wait till transwhatevers are in combat and captured by the enemy.

Nah.

Rangers need clerks, too. They'll be a bunch of female Radars running around.

AS soon as Trump or Cruz is sworn-in, they will begin cashiering careerist lickspittles like Dempsey, this SOA and all the other little Weasleys degrading our military.

Actually, the scuttlebutt is that the two ladies in question could hang.

Report from Ranger School

If they could hang, and met standard, I'm fine with it. It will always be a small number of women who DO have what it takes, it's just the far end of the bell curve. . .

**IF**, on the other hand they were spoon-fed, there's a problem. But reports are that Cadre agreed with a recycle back to Day 1, and that's allowed for ANY Ranger Candidate at the school. ..

The real significance?

Of course it is that women are biologically capable of doing anything men do...Right???

I actually expect to see the NCAA and the olympics to eliminate gender segregated events soon.

While I have no doubt that either of these women could wipe my ...er....Obamahole, I strongly suspect that the standards just might have been ....altered. I salute the two women and bet that they’d kick *ss in a real battle.

This is NOT meant as an insult to them. It IS meant as an insult to the Army (and other military) commanders who do not have the cojones to publicly speak out about Dorkbama the Muslim and his marshmallow major cohorts who seek the destruction of our military.

Any society that sends its women to fight before it sends its non-shaving boys and cane-borne old men deserves to be destroyed, and will be by those who do not make that mistake.
