‘2.) Referring to the females as “studs”. I cannot imagine why a man would refer to a woman as a stud in any description, even colloquial usage. Again, just to show how “equal” males and females are.’

The article reads like it was written by a peevish queen. Note the name for down the road. I strongly suspect the author is a Theban Sacred Band type. The site it comes from has whiffs of it too.

I had to look it up...ugh. I confess my grasp of that segment of history is not as deep.

I went to the site and poked around. It seemed to be bending over backwards to justify this move, and there was a link that said something like "Apocalypse due to female rangers fails to materialize".

This is precisely what I have referred to in other posts, to wit: "...And in the next 5-10 years, you will see pieces in the media talking about how wrong the naysayers were (as footage of women humping gear and walking through tall grass with ready weapons is shown in the background) and that the force being shown is so much the better for having added women. And you won't hear otherwise, except the ripping sound of purging taking place for the people who didn't stick their fingers in the air, and didn't go with the flow..."

This is a typical liberal approach that website apparently takes. Throw up a straw man, to tear it down. No thinking person has, or will say the Rangers, or any other elite military unit is going to collapse within days of females gaining admittance. Hence, no "apocalypse". But this type of rhetoric is their MO. We who oppose this are concerned that this incremental and corrosive approach to military operations is going to jump up and bite us in a war that might happen in five years, or twenty. When the disaster does happen, the tools and dies once used to craft the superb military we once had will be long gone, and we will have to learn to to rebuild them from scratch after humiliating and bloody defeats.

I wouldn't set much store by that name as it appears to be a nom de plume drawn from a character in W.E.B. Griffin's Brotherhood of War series of novels. As a fan of that series, I guess I'd give the guy some credit for even knowing about or having read the series.
