Seriously?

You want to disqualify 54% of the population because they have periods?

I rest my point.

Do you want to disqualify (whatever it is)% of the population because they are morbidly obese? Or have learning disabilities? Or take your pic?

Or are you mostly like the kids who play HALO and think they are "Master Chief?"

My experience is most of the bitchers-and-moaners are the ones who:

1. Never were in the military but they know a guy who knows a guy who is a Delta Force, Green Beret Navy SEAL sniper and he says women cant make it.
2. Didn't try for the school because they are not qualified, so how can a woman be qualified?
3. Applied but didn't get selected (see above)
4. Dropped out or didn't pass the school (see above).

Someone who was a Green Beret, please start a list just so I can tell who's offering insight, and who's whining?

I did not apply, nor did I go, but I was USAF. I didn't go Para-rescue (I did pass the physical and PT test) or Combat Control, either.

I'd bet there is a 100% chance she earned it, and a 0% chance they lowered the standards.


LOL!!!!
I was just a lowlife light infantryman myself.

Belay man fugged me hard at dahlonega doing buddy repelling
(that means you have a guy on your back doing medevac stuff)
Belay man wasnt paying full attention, didnt brake me from the bottom soon enough on one of my bounds.
Lost some momentary grip tension with my brake hand .
They pair ya up buddy repelling with same size partner.
I was about 185ish with same size partner possum rigged on my back.

Into the rock face.....
Knee surgery...
No tab.
Never went back...

Witnessed 1st hand 24yrs of standards being lowered.
And not just for females.
Are you aware in the early to mid 90,s the army lowered standards for those under 27 on the PT test.
Due to studies showing they had between 10 to 20% less bone mass density or some schitt .


I could relate dozens of stories about standards being lowered and accomadations being made for #,s.

Dont even wanna talk about EO quota,s for promotion at DA level to E7 and above.



Oh ....
2 of my 3 daughters are officers in the Army.
One MI flying drones via sattelite uplink
The other a nurse.
Got her a med company command.
Married to a SF company commander in 10th group.

They both met when they was stationed at bragg.

He aint so bad being a Texan and all.


LOL!!!

If looking for a person to blend in with the local population, should their race/sex/preferred pronoun not come into play?

Should all standards we washed away on the altar of vaginal discharge?

I've seen what passes for government reports of "facts" lately, I don't and won't believe it until she shows up, flashes her cooter, then goes on to perform the various feats that are required of Green Berets. "Woman" has become a very loose term lately, as have what qualify as "standards".

Soooo you can't back up your position with anything but emotion. Roger that. I didn't sling insults, or speak ill. I made points that you either won't or can't refute. Fair enough. You think posting your name and rank is enough to carry an agenda without answering questions. You made yourself irrelevant.

Have a good evening.

I know this because I’ve been involved in the training when it happened multiple times and was told to STFU and do what I was told or else when I complained to the COC.

Even when a bunch of us got together to complain about it, it never went anywhere and as a matter of fact there was always some write up or ceremony somewhere about how admirably the females had performed and how they had dome everything exactly as the males had or better, yada, yada.

It’s all bullschit. But somewhere they’ll be some homo like Sheroy to tell you differently even though they don’t have a fugging clue about what they’re talking about. When they want it to show something they’ll make it up and people will swallow it hook, line and sinker. That’s just how it is. I could bore you with firsthand accounts but for what? It won’t prove anything. The Schit is what it is...


Read any accounts of Airborne School from pre 1970 or so and they all agree it was a physically demanding course with a high failure rate. As of 2001 it wasn't even remotely close to tough physically.

Why do you want a woman to take away a Man's job?? Women, except for nurses/clerks/doctors, have no place in the military.

Billy goat,

That might have been extreme. I apologize.

Please explain how women survived in largely unsanitary conditions since the dawn of time?

Your reasoning would have seen them wiped out by infection in a generation or two?

I never went through Green Beret training because I served in the USN. But I went through Expeditionary Warfare training in order to join the Riverines. It was held down in Camp Lejeune and most of the instructors were USMC so it wasn't exactly a walk in the park. What was your point again?

It was to ask how many of the people here listing reasons why a woman couldn’t be a Ranger were or are actually Rangers. As in,
Speaking from first hand experience vs. spouting off on something they have no first hand knowledge of.
