Just surviving the winter ranger course is an accomplishment. But did she really do it with a 90lb ruck?

They should go to Ukraine first to show their capabilities.

By what degree did they lower the qualifications so that women could pass? I would think it would practically be a cake walk at this point.

Another great American institution falls to the Wokesters.

Did she pass the Dundee inspection test?.

Then group them as a single company of female fighters, not spread around with the males.

I’m sure the Russians are SHAKING IN THEIR BOOTS!

This is the one of the finest, most honest and comprehensive articles about the subject of women in combat I have seen out there, written in 2015 by a woman who served in the USMC and understands these things first hand, Jude Eden:

This chart below explains it.

Keep in mind how the military must operate-they cannot prioritize the capabilities of a single person (such as a single female who might be physically more capable than a number of randomly picked males) because in battle, people are lost and must be replaced on the fly. (and this goes for men, too)

The military therefore has to deal with large numbers, medians, and averages when dealing with everything from average boot size to average strength and capability.

And this does not even broach the subject of mixing young men and women together in a dangerous environment far from home, the effects on the morale of a unit, or the differences in supply chain.

No way that happened under normal training protocols. I was a star athlete in high school but still could in no way compete with guys.

Yippee! Just in time to take part in the war with Russia that the left and GOPe is pushing us into.

In June of 74 the first few official female paratroopers were trained... for just a mere handful of soldiers, there were nearly a one-to-one Blackhat ratio. Aside from getting just the basics, and none of the harrassment , it was harder to get the women up to physical demands required of the men. The solution was to separate the sexes.

Ranger School and Airborne School always had a few quirks associated with it. Active duty soldiers usually went to the non-Summer months if they requested this training and it was approved. Winter Rangers like White Thread. Summer ROTC/West Point students took their 5-Jump Chump and Tab training in Summer with large blocs of just their own group.

In order to wear those badges of honor an entire career, inagine letting college kids get the badge at a Q-course and they wear it for life. The one thing I noticed in the Army was there were too many officers without Jumpmaster Star - myself I would have just not worn those wings if I only had 5 jumps and was say a first sergeant or sergeant major, or above the grade of Captian.

When I see a soldier of any grade with Jumpmaster wings, you or they have my immediate respect and admiration - it takes a bit more than just reciting the Gettysburg Address flawlessly. The one exception was the DIA puke wearing a 06d Colonel Army uniform with his 5 Jump Wings on his pocket and his Junpmaster Wings where they belonged.... I paused the elevator, appologized to the DAO, removed the “colonel’s chump jump wings under both’s protest and then accompanied them to the DAO to pull up AR670-1. Those who think they look cool blow their “cover” instantly with wanton acts of stolen bravery.

I wonder if bravery and integrity mean anything.

Myself, I identify as a Master Parachutist.

Women have a place in the military.

They can NAG rear-echelon people to GET THINGS DONE.

[vetvetdoug]

We’re screwed.

[curious7]

Yeah, sure they did.
