Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire First Women graduate from Ranger course

In a limited way they can. At the height of the insurgency in Northern Ireland, female soldiers were recruited into 14th Int to do undercover work.

14th Int specialised in doing deep cover close quarter recce of hard core Provisional IRA targets. Initially it was one aspect of the work carried out by the SAS, but 14 Int was formed to specialise in it. They were trained by the SAS in recce and close quarter combat, plus a number of other related skills that were mission specific.

The simple fact was that two young woman in civvies pushing strollers (they used the strollers to conceal their MP5's) would attract a lot less attention than two guys...same with a young couple, rather than two guys out and about in vehicle..

So yes there is a definite niche for woman in SF but they should be there on merit not because of some PC bullshit..
