'It looked highly suspicious': Female US Air Force Captain who quit special forces training three times but was controversially reinstated admitted in memo that it appeared unfair - but said instructors were out to get her

A female United States Air Force captain who quit special forces training three times but was reinstated admitted in an April memo that her treatment appeared unfair.

The female captain, who has been named in an anonymous letter posted online as Captain Morgan Mosby, had passed the physical fitness test needed to graduate from the special warfare assessment and selection course in January 2021.

But when she left for Combat Control School in North Carolina - the most challenging part of a years-long training that entails air traffic control, parachute and dive training - the captain reportedly learned that the physical training standards had been lowered.

A HS Classmate of mine graduated from West Point. We played football together and he was a physical specimen. Played TE for us, OT at the Point.

Anyway, he was encouraged to take a trip up there for a visit during the summer between our junior & senior years. The Plebe Class was already there, and some female plebes were going through a self-defense course. The instructor asks Jim to try and throw a jab at one of the women. I imagine he didn’t throw a serious punch and the female countered with a kick to the rib cage. He felt it, but that’s where the demonstration ended.

Here’s the thing. Jim was about 6’4” and a solid 240. Had that been a ‘live’ full-contact fight, that female cadet would have been permanently disabled. That is combat.

That was 1976. Almost 50 years later we are still lying to ourselves.

Non-PC recap:

Woman tries to get into Spec-Ops. Fails to meet standards. Standards get lowered to let her through. She keeps failing to complete aspects of the school. Is allowed to retry. She then claims that command set her up to fail by giving her the appearance of special treatment. That while standards were lowered, that had nothing to do with her scores.

The future warriors...

She quit twice in water confidence sessions and once during land navigation training, the letter claims, and soon, she 'became known for quitting and getting preferential treatment.'

I wonder why she became known as a quitter?

It’s ponderous.

Her arguing the issue is almost dazzling. It’s amazingly thick BS but is quite artful.

That’s why we don’t use the word, “ALL” when we don’t mean all.

Women should not be in combat. Women should not serve with men in combat.

Then why offer it up

Btw read about that whole group she was in

She’s of course bles her heart received exponentially more eulogy than dead male soldiers

Her units experience is instructive

There’s a reason most nations don’t use women as such unless desperate

Besides the cultural morality issue

Remember Jessica Lynch

AR SHOOTING FROM THE HIP DEFIANT TILL CAPTURED

Toral lies

What happened to her was loathsome

No women in combat

If special forces training was easy, women and minorities would be enrolled.

Don’t roll minorities into this. Many minority men have and are fully qualified and served honorably and heroically in Special Forces and other elite fighting units. The issue here is women and their overall physical unfitness to qualify. Look up Sgt. Ray Benavidez.

Why do physical standards need to be lowered for women? They keep telling us they are strong, independent and just as good (or better) than men.

Not surprised. In 1987, we had a black female Captain in my AF Squadron who could not run the annual 1.5 mile physical test in the time required. And you could practically walk it in the required time then. She always got a pass.

“Women should not be in combat. Women should not serve with men in combat.”

Truer words were never spoken. This is absolute fact. But the Bolshevik feminists in charge of the Pentagon and Congress these days are charging full speed ahead, no matter what standards must be lowered to make women “succeed” in combat related fields.

America grows weaker by the day due to this insanity.

It would have been difficult to come up with a more bizarre misinterpretation of post 12.

Youre recent posts suggest you have an exposed nerve. Be careful not to bump it.

Is this a real female or a tranny?

Real female....but if they can get her to say she is LGBTQIAWTFIDKLMFAO, they will have hit the woke trifecta of affirmative action.

Anyone who thinks this chick is even remotely suitable for Special Operations is a total moron. Good men will get killed by this B.S.

Ladies, even those crossgender male trannies don’t make it in SF or Ranger School.
