One hundred women have graduated from the U.S. Army’s esteemed Ranger School as of Friday, Task & Purpose has learned.
“The Airborne and Ranger Training Brigade confirmed that the 100th woman graduated the course with Ranger Class 03-22,” said Col. Antwan L. Dunmyer, Commander of the Airborne and Ranger Training Brigade at Fort Benning, Georgia. “She was the only woman to graduate with that class.”.....
The first women graduated Ranger School in August 2015, and since then women have continued breaking barriers. Capt. Kristen Griest, one of the very first women to earn the Ranger tab, became the first female infantry officer in the Army. Another one of the first 10 women to graduate Ranger School, Capt. Shaina Coss, became the first woman to lead Rangers in combat.

Much of this is pure propaganda for media dissemination
I have just spent weeks around 1000s of recruits at Fort Benning
All were MOS 11
Either bravo or xray or mortarman which is another MOS number
I witnessed literally several thousand. Graduate AIT
guess how many women.......
A big fat zero
These are boys destined to fight if we need them
Only female around was one quartermaster at battalion level
Like I said constructed for public consumption
Indeed. They bitch and moan about the fairness of competing against a “trans” swimmer in a pool where the prize is a plastic trophy, yet think they can compete with hardened and ruthless “non-trans”/male soldiers on a battlefield where the prizes are life and death.

Excellent observation!
Again, “What’s your point?”
Or better yet, are reduced, lowered and different qualification standards for women to qualify as Rangers / Special Forces valid, or not?
I say “not” and do not need an exhaustive study funded by the government or National Organization of Lesbians, er, I mean Women to tell me lowered standards and “equity” make our nation stronger or more secure. Rather it does just the opposite.
You feeling me, Bro?
Ok, like does this group include transgender men who feel like they are women, jus sayn
I know I do.
The woman who wrote the article excoriates those who are diminishing the standards to allow more women to graduate. She most certainly is not saying (and does so in emphatic and patriotic terms) that the "lowered standards and “equity” make our nation stronger or more secure."
If you haven't read the article, you should. Perhaps you misunderstood my post and/or didn't read the article, which is the only rational reason I can muster to explain your response. The author of that linked article, a woman, agrees with you emphatically.
And I find it all the more powerful coming from a Marine (who served in Iraq as part of a Marine support team that provided interpretative services and performed physical searches on muslim women) a woman, and a mother.
This kind of b.s. has been ongoing for forever. 1 completed Army OCS in 1993. We had females. During combat marches we like all infantry elements, rotated heavy equipment periodically. It was obvious that both many males and the Tac officers and NCOs were part of tge problem. I noted usually that heavy stuff like M60s, 60mm tubes and baseplates, radios etc miraculously skipped over the females.
One time I happened to be behind a female and an m60 skipped her and the guy tried to hand it me, I refused and expected the girl to do her part. I caught hell from the TACs later. I quipped that they werent expecting her to put out, we’re they? Always the favoritism and special treatment.
Or better yet, are reduced, lowered and different qualification standards for women to qualify as Rangers / Special Forces valid, or not?
I say “not”

Agree. So here’s another consideration: Knowing that the political and military leadership of our country is subjecting members of our armed forces to increased risk of injury and death in order to conform to leftist ideology, why would anyone join or recommend joining the military?
Got it.
Thank you for the lengthy and complete follow-up.
Please accept my sincere apology for being a total and complete douchebag. I have had a bad week and being bit lazy, lethargic and impatient today.
Again, the fault is mine, nor yours.
Have a blessed day and great weekend.
Cheers.👍
nor = not
Outrageous!
The Norks, chicoms, Ruskies, Pakistan, and, even, Rhode Island must be licking their lips at the possibility of an easy conquest of the U.S....
Excellent...sorry for the confusion.
When I read your post, I thought “What the heck? Reading Qui is’ post, I thought we were on the same page!”
Makes sense now-you have a good one, FRiend...
From what I hacve seen, Russia is preforming in a mediocre style. A tank column came down a street, no scouts, nothing. Got hit in the lead tank, rear tank and a brigade was destroyed. Equipment break downs etc.
It is not that “what you are seeing” is totally false, though in some cases it may be, but it is what you are not seeing that gives you just one side of the story.
As a former airborne infantry, this disgusts me.
From the first two who passed this course to the 100th, they are lowering the standards. Several NCOs and Rangers classmates have commented on the lowering of standards.
This is all about “equity”. Few will go to infantry units and hopefully none with go to Ranger bats. This is about getting the women the Ranger Tab, so they can advance in the Army with all of the merits that come with that Tab.
Woke bullshit.
Exactly. Men and women are different. Men are physically stronger than women.
The Wokies refuse to accept that.
Excellent....yet I didn’t see lung capacity addressed.
👍 Cool.
