Naval Special Warfare says no women have met standards.

Naval special warfare jobs have been open to women for a year but no women are in the pipeline yet, and Navy officials concede it may be some time before a woman makes it into either a SEAL team or into the Special Warfare Combat Crewman field.

I dare say over 99% of men do not meet the physical standards. So no surprise that a woman hasn’t met the standards yet.

They’ll find someone even if it’s a transgender.

Every woman attempting to make it through SEAL training will, eventually, ring the bell.

I may not be able to pass the SEAL quals but I could be a WALRUS. At almost 70 I only need to grow the ‘stache. ;-)

Same standards for everyone, that’s the way it is! If you pass you’re in if you don’t you’re out!

And a year later, no one in their right mind gives a damn!

Another game of politically correct stupidity to play with the lives of soldiers at risk. It really should be a crime and those responsible for unnecessary loss of life should pay an enormous price.

——They’ll find someone even if it’s a transgender.——

My exact thought...

Someone like that Mack Beggs he/she wrestler after pumping them up with testosterone for 3 or 4 years while lifting weights, installing some bionic muscle lift implants and removing its ovaries. It'll just be an "improved" man after they're finished.../s

SEAL training is going to have to be dumbed down and standards will have to be reduced significantly before a woman will ever make it through SEAL training. Most men can’t even make it through. When these reductions in standards happen, they will no longer be SEALs. The graduates will amount to nothing more than a bunch of clowns decked out in nifty military regalia.

Let’s try this another way!

How many women are in the NFL? Answer: 0

How many women are in the NBA? Answer: 0

So, surprise, how many women are SEALS? Answer: 0

The Pussy-Hatted Rainbow-Flaggers won’t relent.

If they can’t get a chromosome verified female in there they will try a male cross dresser next.

They don’t care how they destroy the country - only that they destroy it.

If it takes a tutu wearing male who “identifies” as a female but still has all his plumbing that’s what they will use.

With the legal definition of “woman” legally changing, the Navy is going to have to solicit some intelligent and physically very fit and strong guys to do the “transexual” thing without the estrogen supplements, maybe just agree to wear women’s clothes when out of uniform and sailorette’s uniform when in.

Like that ignorant Gloria All-RED once said.....if a woman can’t meet the standards....lower them. I hope that doesn’t happen here.
