The idea that two out of 100+ hand-picked officers with an incredible level of fitness for a woman can physically hang with men in a course after being given an incredible amount of prep shouldn't amaze anyone.
Exactly. Travis

Lower standards before the course even started. Their tab should have an asterisk. Their new trick is to keep the standards the same so that they can truthfully say they didn't lower the standards. BUT, they lower the scores necessary to pass for the women.

Yes, I'm serious, Travis. These people play fast and loose with the truth.

I ask for serious because I have wondered what sort of loophole the femichunts would find to show they're doing "the same."
When I was in the service their standards were different. But I knew they'd somehow find a way to change that too. Like they did in the law enforcement profession.

I'm just flat amazed it took until Saturday for someone to find this info and rag on it, since its been around the news places for a week now...
Maybe the guys are just slower....
They should ALL be held to the same standards that were always there.
Beyond, the flave thing applies.
Thankfully the females are good for sex, can't quite see them as useful for much else to many. Well maybe making sammiches.

But on balance they will not and cannot enhance the fighting effectiveness of the special forces.
Jordan 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..

Travis In todays SF, that distinction is often blurred...

It was blurred in the 1700's as well.
Soldiers they ain't.

If they are determined to push the women in combat agenda, I would like to see an Amazon battalion on their own.

As long as everybody else accepts bleeders make schitty cops, firemen, soldiers, sailors, pilots, politicians, and opinion givers.

To refer to women as bleeders is rude and offensive as hell to the very few women members of this forum. Women have bled, menstruated, and had a monthly period for as long as they have existed, just as men have had a swinging d1ck and saggy hairy wrinkled nut sacks. Maybe you should start thinking with your brain instead of your little roundheaded willy.
Your pretty little daughter will soon be a "bleeder", if she isn't already, and your wife, mother, grandmother, aunts, sisters (if any) were all "bleeders". To use the term as you do is extremely misogynist, offensive, and disrespectful, but you are obviously a sorry piece of c.h.it nut sack.

The military is just becoming a social experiment. Between woman in combat roles, gays, transgender studies, etc. it's a damn shame.

DeFlave announcing yet again (for those one or two folks here who did not already know ) why he is single, divorced man with whom women will have absolutely nothing to do. Jordan I'm married. But in your defense, she is Polish. Dave That got Jordy all soft.

Travis- Would you like to reply? As long as everybody else accepts bleeders make schitty cops, firemen, soldiers, sailors, pilots, politicians, and opinion givers.

The graduation of women from this warrior school is a sad, ignorant new low for our society. The pace with which our society's new lows are coming is rapidly accelerating.

I don't know how much help these women got but I suspect there was some.
My boss is a West Point grad and a Ranger school grad. Dave said he was told on good authority that these two women are the real deal.
The description of Ranger school I got from Dave formed my opinion that luck of the draw, good attitude, leadership ability and unwavering determination are big factors for any candidates success.
I guess it's possible that these gals got through.

couple of tough gals, anyway.
glad they passed, they will be better officers for it.
better than those who didn't even try.
If you are going to have women in the Army at all, you are going to have some that want to test themselves.
If they finished West Point and Ranger School, they have already shown themselves high performers.
