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.

A 90lb ruck with draperies.
This is the best information I could find in a very quick search, and it’s from Wikipedia:
“The graduation rate has dropped below 50% in recent years: 52% in 2005, 54% in 2006, 56% in 2007, 49% in 2008, 46% in 2009, 43% in 2010, and 42% in 2011.”
So, 50% of young, physically fit, motivated men traditionally fail out of this training, but women can do it. This defies logic and common sense.
“One hundred women have graduated from the U.S. Army’s esteemed Ranger School as of Friday...”
Great! Start rotating them through the Regiment and see how many survive that.
Nope. I wouldn’t be surprised if she whined until the men took some of the load from hers and added it to their own.
In my long life I have known women who were stronger than most men. Not only were they stronger but they were faster. Conversely I have have known men who were much smaller and less strong than ordinary women.
The differences were not really notable when they started working at “manly” jobs. And, yes, I am sure there are jobs a woman cannot do or shouldn’t do. I don’t know what they are off hand.
Most importantly come the question can a woman ‘think’ like a man—the answer is yes, they can especially if they is good at math, the sciences, use logic, etc.
I cannot list what jobs they cannot due as I don’t know what they are.
After one particularly difficult day of training...identical training exercises...several members of both platoons were interviewed. The guys were obviously sore,tired and rather dispirited. But every one of then just said "we're all gonna make it,we're Marines".
OTOH,every one of the women were weeping like little girls.
I kid you not!
The only American women who should be allowed anywhere *near* combat are doctors and nurses.
“...Capt. Shaina Coss, became the first woman to lead Rangers in combat.”
Yeah, I definitely want to hear that war story.
There are actually some very practical reasons to do it; less and less young men see any reason to risk their lives and limbs for a woke country that hates them, and if many women aren’t breeding then there is really no reason (from a practical standpoint) they can’t stop a bullet for said woke country.
It was really buried in the news that 2 of the 13 Americans killed at Kabul airport were young women; the NY Post list features them as #12 and #13.
Unfortunately, their achievement has been tainted due to “The Agenda”.
I have no problems as long as they had to meet the same standards, but not if the men had to carry half of the women’s equipment.
Years ago in the Air Force, we sent a female out to bring in a CADC (Central Air Data Computer). An hour later she came back without it. We asked, “What happened”?. She said “Nothing. It was just too heavy for me to get it down from the airplane”, so we had to send out one of the guys to fetch it. Sigh.
Sick joke.
Physically IMPOSSIBLE for a woman.
you’re mistaking shrieking for whistling.
That’s quite a conclusion to jump to.(aren’t enough men)
Maybe less tough men aren’t joining because of faggots and women.
Women ruin unit cohesion.
The issue is not what the top 1% of women can do.
The issue is whether the military has the structure in place to guarantee that there is no favoritism, special treatment or cutting corners.
They do not.
That is not the fault of the women in the program, that is the fault of the military.
As a result any women in a unit will seriously harm morale and unit cohesion.
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.
Shaking my damn head.
How much were the requirements lowered? Sorry women, but that’s how it is. Feminists demand a lowering of the standards for women, but equal promotion and pay.
If everyone were held to the same standard, then a medal would mean something and people would respect those who receive an award or a promotion.
“I cannot list what jobs they cannot due as I don’t know what they are.”
HOW about a job to...fight and win a war against Chinese soldiers? On the ground.
“I’d bet these women perform at a physical level above that of soyboys, fags and trannies that will compose a portion of the next draft.”
Sad but not true. Despite all the women in movies, real humans are truly sexually dimorphic. It’s extremely rare for even large women to be stronger than small men.
“males have 41% greater fat-free body mass, 75% more muscle mass in the arms and, consequently, 90% greater upper body strength than females (as compared with 50% more muscle mass and 65% more muscle strength in the legs; Lassek and Gaulin, 2009)” Sexual dimorphism in human arm power and force: implications for sexual selection on fighting ability
They should go to Ukraine first to show their capabilities.
