The commander of the Navy's special warfare units is recommending that the SEALs and combat crew jobs be opened to women, but he warns that women will have greater risk of injury and says the service may be pressured to adjust or lower standards for the jobs.

The artist has evidently never been diving with a woman. They float.
She will be making way too much money in endorsements to want to enlist in the Navy. :-)
Active Duty ping.
You gotta tell us what movie / satire that E German female Olympic team photo is from?
It’s a consequence of all of that Hollywood publicity.
Does a female seal smell like fish?
Can you imagine a DI calling a female recruit that today??
Shouldn’t they be called “Sealettes”? Just asking.
And now we will sing the East German National Anthem:
Hail, hail East Germany
Land of fruit and grape
Land where you’ll regret
If you try to escape
No matter if you tunnel under or take a running jump at the wall
Forget it, the guards will kill you, if the electrified fence doesn’t first.
Women's rights have gotten past the point of inclusion. It it now a religion; it is now insanity on the part of our Flag officers and cabinet level Secretaries. While a couple of women made the physical requirements in the Rangers of late, good luck with passing THE most demanding training of any elite forces in the World. This really dismays me as did the inclusion of females on our subs.
I'm just flabbergasted. The Admirals and Generals don't know what they're doing to unit cohesion and morale with this crap. A female SEAL? Really? Do the they not know that BUD/S graduation goes far beyond with hand-to-hand combat training, special close quarters weapons combat training, and Survival, Evasion, Resistance, and Escape (SERE), not to mention the combat aerial jumps into unknown waters/land. There is not a woman in the world that can won't "ring out" of BUD/S, not to mention the aforementioned combat training. Still, it's all about lowering the standards with our PC Admirals and Generals. Gawd knows, they want their pensions.
The Demi-Moore movie (G.I. Jane) was total BS from the start. The movie "Lone Survivor" was on the mark and showed what Marcus Luttrell endured in a small SEAL unit. Anyone really think that women have those kind of cojones that Luttrell, Lt. Murphy, Dietz, and Axelson were capable of? Yes, Hollywood took some dramatic license, but Luttrell was on set to make sure it didn't go PC.
This is really a bad idea.
Yes, women have great hand to eye dexterity and have proven that in fighter aircraft. However, more of them than the percentage of male pilots have washed out. The public doesn't here about them.
Women are very capable as was proven in WWII. They don’t need to be doing high risk extractions with the SEAL teams. Its just not a good idea. That kind of chit is too real for the average woman.
Mr GG2 is working a temporary night shift til midnight for our next door neighbor who found out he could work a laser cutting machine from a prior job. I am sitting here with my attack Chihuahua and my Keltec PMR 30. 30 standing for 30 round mag. I promise you I won’t wash out if anybody tries to breech the door. It will be the last action they ever take. Imagine me shooting you with 30 rounds center mass. :-)
Do the seals have a new “make me a sammich” mission?
I thought the Israelis abandoned the idea of women in combat a long time ago?
I don’t think so. Every Israeli 18 and up has to do a turn in the military. Unless its changed and I didn’t hear about it. Those girls are tough stuff according to Mr GG2 who was in Israel in the 70’s. He said he would not mess with them. :-)
Is that racist? LOL!
Very true.
There is a concert violinist who is an NCO in an IDF Reserve unit when she is not on tour. I've seen her in open rehearsals of chamber music pieces, and she's as tough on her music partners as any American DI.
That’s photoshopped ..... right?
And that is why the standards will be lowered.
Yes, they will talk first to any potential assassin.
Yes Sir, they do not carry any guns - their fists are their weapons. If the assassin will not talk nicely to them and go away, they will smack him smartly.
Let the lesson be learned about the US’s deadly new Secret Service people.
