I don't see the big deal? 2 women were able to pass Ranger school and we're supposed to just lose our minds? Great job, but 99% of women will continue to fail combat arms training until the bar is inevitably lowered to ensure that we have reached an "appropriate level of diversity to foster a high level of effectiveness."
Good job to these women but women are still not psychologically, emotionally, mentally, or physically suited to combat arms and the surest way to destroy our combat readiness is to make combat arms co-ed.
No bastard ever won a war by dying for his country. He won it by making the other poor dumb bastard die for his country. — General George S. Patton
What may be Old Blood and Guts’ most famous line is more than just colorful, it’s a great working definition of a warrior’s duty: killing the enemy and surviving to fight another day.
That truth is particularly relevant in light of the recent failure of all 45 hand-picked, highly fit women to complete Ranger training and Marine-officer combat training. The 45 women were part of an effort to meet a 2016 deadline mandating that all combat roles, including special forces, be opened up to women — an ideologically driven, reality-challenged initiative.

There is no compelling need or reason to put women in combat other than to satisfy our craven SJW-driven need for "diversity." It is one thing to force diversity down the throat of some bland corporate office but we're putting our national security at risk chasing this bizarre ideological agenda our nation is so determined to chase.
I wonder how much they relaxed their rigorousness on the physical fitness side of it.

But you can believe what you want.

These 2 just proved they're in bette shape than all of us but nope - no conservative issues with women here.....
Just out of curiosity, why do they want women in special forces? thought they want to downsize the military, no?
