I wonder how much they relaxed their rigorousness on the physical fitness side of it.

Good job. Nothing like congratulating people for a job well done.

Absolutely nothing.

"Some skeptics, especially in the military, have questioned whether the women were given an easier path to graduation. But senior Army officials have insisted that is not the case, and they opened Ranger School to media for a few days during each phase to underscore the point and allow Ranger instructors and others involved in their evaluation to speak."

Great job by the women. It must have been tough, but it's good to see that two of them made it through. They will inspire many others in the future.

If you believe they did not lower the bar (or that all branches of military have been lowering standards for decades), I've got a bridge to sell you, "conservative".

From what I've heard about this story, the women who tried out to be Rangers did not want the bar lowered.

But you can believe what you want.

How about this, you go through the training yourself?
