As usual, the MSM is not telling us "the rest of the story". And the rest of that story is, that the women candidates (not these two who succeeded) fell out (failed) at a far, far greater rate then the men. What these two female success stories show is that very exceptional female athletes (meaning, the top 1-3%) might be able to compete with the top 25% of male athletes---for a short period of time (eg., the amount of time of the Ranger school).

What remains to be seen (and actually we already know the answer) is whether these two exceptional females will be as effective as fighters as their male counterparts and they will not be. There is nothing wrong with that; its just a fact of nature. Women can contribute to the military in many ways (they already do). But on balance they will not and cannot enhance the fighting effectiveness of the special forces.
