I have some familiarity with Rangers as my father was one. Standards have indeed slipped since my fathers time. It used to be, you had one additional chance to re-pass a section, period. After that, the CO sent you elsewhere.
Women are mentally tough, cooler under fire than males, and can withstand a TON of pain - all of this is documented, not hearsay.
But they simply do NOT have the strength of a man, and that is critical in CQ, infil, and exfil. They WILL slow the squad down, and that risks the mission. So they do not belong in ground combat roles, period.
Also, earning a Ranger tab is impressive. However, "Army Rangers" serve in the 75th Ranger Regiment and complete RASP, which is one hell of a lot tougher than Ranger School...
