All I know is that due to some physical limitations I was born with, I could never even make at least a good showing before being cut! I don't know if there was any political pressure or not, i am inclined to give the Army the benefit of doubt here. My own though's of on the matter is what is the point? Since they can't go to a Ranger Regiment or to the Green Beret's, its seems to me the tap is being reduced down to a merit badge. Ok I understand that there is a pecking order and thay you have to do things along the way when promotion time comes along! I can live with it since what I think of the matter is a moot point, since I am just an old has been. As long as they keep the standards were they should be fine, if they end up with two sets of rules and standards, then the nation will really be ill served! War and War fighting is a serious business! You would think our leaders and the Generals would know that!
