They say standards were not lowered. . . .they said.

IOW, “We lowered standards. A LOT!”

10 female soldiers graduate infantry officer course, will attend Ranger School

Where they will either fail or get passed by getting the standards lowered.

Well, that sounds very stylish.

In the meantime, Runner’s World has an article on how cat calling women runners is intimidating to women and all men need to put a stop to it.

Eventually they’ll become platoon leaders at Fort Hood in Texas or Fort Bragg in North Carolina.

That presumes they qualify and stick with it.

I bet many will die because of these LIB social workers messing with the military training requirements. So sad that these leftist losers are doing that.

The article left out the part regarding how this strikes fear into the heart of Putin, ISIS and the Red Chinese.

We all know from NCO trainers in the camp that the women got a little more rest and food than the men.

I’m convinced they also packed out lighter.

Wonder if any will end up with a quietly and among the officer and enlisted ranks, the whispered nickname “Wonder Woman”?

[George from New England]

Why in creation would any females want to go this route ?

Betcha that they are getting $$$ under the table or behind the scenes to ‘con’ them into taking this career path.

I hope we have a slew of competent SGTs to help out in the field.

I've never served in,or near,combat so my opinion might not be worthy of consideration.But I,like many,many others,*did* serve so I do have an opinion.

A few years ago (maybe 10) I saw a documentary on Marine recruit training.It followed two squads of recruits,one male and the other female.It claimed that the men and the women were undergoing the *exact* same training...no concessions for the women.

After one particularly difficult.strenuous, day of training they interviewed the men and the women.The men were clearly tired....sore...and even dispirited.It was abundantly clear that they hadn't enjoyed themselves that day.The women were just about beside themselves with anxiety,etc.Several of them were literally in tears.

None of the men were anywhere near crying.

Are women really fit for combat? My gut tells me they're not.

I suspect all ten will fail the next test....and if one of them does pass, I can only hope she is a deadly, killer soldier who all enemies will fear.....but I’ll bet against it.

Shameful.

Gotta have some leadership for the transgendered butt-boy battalion.

“This whole issue has driven us to ensure that we have the right standards aligned to each occupational specialty in the Army,” Wesley said. “We have created a gender-neutral, standards-based training environment, where it no longer becomes a question of male or female. … It makes us better.”

That's code for, "We changed the standards."
