Regardless if the instructors were forced to go softer on these women or not (I’ll never know), the sickest thing in my mind is the fact that there is actually a push to put women into combat.
War is the worst possible action mankind resorts to to solve problems or destroy evil. Women should be protected from this horror, not promoted to go to it. I can’t imagine what is going to happen when one of these women get captured by the likes of ISIS/Daesh, and they video tape them being raped, scalped, dismembered and overall brutalized before having their head sawed off with a rusty knife. It will happen.
This also doesn’t even take into account what adding sexual tensions to a combat unit will do to distract it from it’s overall mission. If women in a unit make it more effective and lethal, then do it. But history and studies show that it more often then not, ruins unit effectiveness.
The Ranger school is not a “leadership development” course. It is a combat course designed to train individuals to lead combat units in combat situations.
If Women currently can’t be assigned to combat units, why are they taking up slots that others have applied to attend the school?
Kudos to any and all graduates.
Your post says it all.
Did Valerie Jarrett write the article?
Or Samantha Power?
“Haters? A US Army ranger calls someone a “hater”? Doesn’t smell right.”
I heard it twice today during interviews with the class, once from one of the girls.
As women enter a profession, men leave the profession.
This has been very helpful to me.
I just can't imagine women making the military more effective. Women certainly don't make the corporate work place more effective. That is just my personal experience since I have to be careful of my speech and be "sensitive" or I will lose my job. That is a slippery slope that we do not want to go down in the military. Most young men don't have the experience to understand that.
I have no doubt from my industrial experience that there are women capable of passing the Ranger School training. Two out of a hundred seems about right.
It poisons the well right out the gate, like their gambit of calling us racists when they are losing the argument on merit. And that’s most of the time, like here.
I’m not buying it. Something isn’t right. It smells like public relations.
As a categorical matter—something we all know—women are not the physical equals of men.
They want to fly, supply, rear echelon—more power to ‘em.
But Rangers? C’mon. Next we’re going to hear someone assuring us some girls passed SEAL testing. No way. Not unless they’re trannies on steroids.
But hey, don’t wanna hate on diversity. So yeah, rah rah rah!
Funny comment I read from a recent BUDS washout.
You know what those women who passed Ranger training tells me?
That Ranger training just isn’t hard enough.
They couldn’t pass Marine IOC. No way in hell they come close to passing BUDS.
Not to mention the second-best sex of their lives.
The best will be after they survive a life-threatening situation.
Lol, who cares? Military is just a jobs program now.
“This also doesn’t even take into account what adding sexual tensions to a combat unit will do to distract it from it’s overall mission”
Excellent point. Same goes for homosexual men in the military. Are we there to fight or are we there to look politically correct?
Spoken like a true asshole.
Did you serve?
I’m gonna guess the author is a fan of that transgender Navy Seal who wears dresses now. Just a guess.
> This is discrimination. All American women have the right to have their heads blown off
Now THAT made me cackle...LOL
More feminist propaganda. Israel found after its war for independence, that women shouldn’t be infantry combat soldiers. But many continue to push the myth.
OK, good effort at PC, still no sale.
Not the place for “women”.
Just not right.
I served (US NAVY) and thats EXACTLY what the military has turned into.
One big jobs program, or social experiment, whatever term you prefer.
