the social acceptance shite doesn't really have a place in a might military. If they had finished the normal standard then good they belong. However, turning the exercise into a participation trophy is wrong.

Agreed.
When these women have to buddy-carry two 250 lb injured fellow soldiers out of harms way they can't exactly ask the Ranger instructor for lighter casualties.

I agree 100% with this statement. Good on them if they met the same standards as the men but dropping standards to force a few through is bullshite. The same thing with the firemen a few years ago talking about dropping standards because not enough women were making it through. The problem with all of this is that a. it isn't equal and b. fires and enemies don't give a shite about equality.
