1st Lt. Ashley White Stumpf could pass the actual test, but she was KIA with Rangers in Afghanistan:

In a new book, “Ashley’s War,” best-selling author Gayle Tzemach Lemmon details what these women went through in training and on these dangerous missions, focusing on 1st Lt. Ashley White Stumpf, who was among the first group of female soldiers to go into combat zones as part of a Cultural Support Team, or “CST”. Considered by many of her fellow soldiers as the ‘quiet professional’ and the ‘heart of the team,’ she was the first member of the special unit to be killed in action.

Of course

Let’s base our existence on one in one hundred thousand chances exceptions

I’ve got an idea

“Let’s use unicorns for our mounted cavalry, I hear they can fly “

This article LINK: A Question of Standards" was written by a female Marine who was a member of a Cultural Support Team operating in Iraq.

The author (Jude Eden) understands the issues, and speaks honestly as a woman about them.

A brilliant and unapologetic article, backed up with facts.

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
