I know we have a couple of Rangers and Army guys on here. I have heard the women did not have the same standards as the men and instructors were pressured to be easier. I read where they were informed of the presidents attendance of graduation at the beginning of the swamp patrols. I am not in the army but have a few friends, Rangers, who are very upset about this. Thoughts

The pair, whose names the Army did not release, completed a 62-day combat course that includes a grueling 12-mile march across rugged terrain in Ft. Benning, Ga., two-day climbing exercises in the mountains of northern Georgia, and 10 days of small-unit tactics in the sweltering swamps of Florida.

Why should the military be any different than the rest of US life?

Good I'm glad.. It's time women started getting a fair shake

Makes sense

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.

You going to try to tell me every single male in the military can do this?

Every Ranger/SF soldier can.

most of the military no way, but any of the groups that have training regulations and stipulations for becoming one then yes they can. They wouldn't pass if they couldn't.
The military isn't the place for social experimenting. The military is suppose to be an elite fighting unit not a new hit reality show. If they wanted women in the rangers then bring enough to form their own group. A mixed unit is asking for nothing but trouble.

You do know that most military units are mixed units, right? That's not even an issue.
What I take issue with is the rumor that they didn't have to meet the same standards. If that's the case, then they absolutely don't belong. If they did meet the same standards as men, they do belong.

I've picked up a plane load of Rangers following this training...the entire plane stinks instantly, it'll make you gag.

Wouldn't equality be holding them to the same standards as men?

Hence why (as far as I know) no female has finished a Marine course dealing strictly with a combat field.

It will work itself out, there will be an honorable solution,and somebody will be in the political game.
The same old guys will still be doing the same old stuff.
Let it go by, get back to bidness.

Why would you want to start a thread this way? Do rumor and innuendo count for fact with you? Is there no evidence one way or another? Are you a mysogynist?

of course, this is the only answer

I'm all for equality. Gay, straight, woman or man. If you can pass all of the standards across the board you should be in. You don't however lower your standards to create more diversity, especially in this particular job.
