The first two women to graduate from Ranger School have had their elite status questioned amid claims that Army officials vowed to pass at least one of them before the course even started. Back in January a general is claimed to have told his subordinates that 'a woman will graduate Ranger School' this year, as part of the first ever class to include serving female soldiers. The general, who has not been named, reportedly added: 'At least one will get through', according to People. In August, Capt Shaye Haver and First Lt Kristen Griest became the first two women to graduate from the school, having taken four months to pass all the tests.

A Ranger Tab is now as prestigious as a Nobel Peace Prize

THE NEW RANGER SONG

I see by his outfit that he is a Ranger.
You can see by my outfit I am a Ranger too.
We see by our outfits that we are both Rangers.
If you get an outfit, you can be a Ranger too.

Two cousins are army rangers.Both say that the whole idea of the Rangers is no longer viable. After these first two, there will be many more women and the units will be reduced in effectiveness as the women must be catered to. Their commanders are preparing the units for the changes to accommodate the women who are simply not men. When the units receive female members the men are to ensure that the women perform identically to the men. In other words the men have to slow down and carry less.

Based on first-person sources that I will not identify in more detail, I believe that their Ranger tabs are legit.

Did your "first-person sources" tell you they were allotted 4 months to get through a 40 day course and got no-go after no-go after no-go until being waved through?

I hope you are right, because if I were in their squad and they couldn't cope.........it wouldn't be pretty. And I would document everything. I mean everything.

What happens when one of these women are captured while doing what Rangers do? Ranger men do battle with ISIS who are men. Should a female Ranger is captured by a gang of ISIS or any of their ilk, the female Ranger will become the cushion the ISIS or their ilk will keep using for a “pin” cushion. (yes, I sew)

Then the males in the unit will be blamed...it couldn’t be the females fault. I’m sure they’ve already worked out the “blame the white male soldier defense.”

Yes it did.

He’s made some great movies. A lot of them are cathartic.

You get to watch someone take the actions you wish you could sometimes in life.

“I learned in junior high that if you want acceptance and respect from your peers, it has to be earned; it cannot be mandated. Some are incapable of learning that stark truth.”

And those are the people we call liberals.

No kidding. And when these creampuffs get troops killed in the field, the fags at the pentagon will likely all get promotions.
