Do you believe the 2 women Rangers passed on their own merits or were they given special treatment?

If the military ever returns back to the way things were in World War II doing a lot of hand to hand combat, do you really want to put our women on the front lines? We have enough able bodied men that should be there first.

Yes, I do. I did 12 yrs Navy. My wife retired Navy. I have nieces and nephews in all the services. My sister is LE and again, nieces and nephews in LE. They all perform above and beyond expectations.

Well, this thread illustrates that when all is said and done, a great deal more gets said than done. (o8

That female pictured has "Monkey Jaws" a condition that results from extended HGH/steroid use....judge for yourself..It is that bulge in her jaw in front of her ear you see. And of course absolutely no breasts...

"Extra training" is not necessarily "special treatment." Every single person on RallyPoint has been in a situation where someone in their group got extra training, or got a second attempt to pass a test, or something like that. And that's a good thing, too because the attrition rate in ANYTHING would be absurdly high if we all washed out on our first failure.

Officials bending the rules is far more problematic, depending on the rules, and how they were bent.

I believe that pressure from this politically correct nation drove some to want it pushed these females WILL pass just to appease someone somewhere in a nice cushy office in D.C. I also believe that the females under fire probably didnt even know they were patsies and got help that they more than likely didnt need. As all things of high profile it will be quickly thrown under the carpet and a gag order has already been issued. I would even go as far as to say that I believe a few promotions were tossed out for those who carefully orchestrated the whole thing. I just hope Im wrong, but doubt I am. Did Demi Moore have anything to do with this???

the ladies? were given special treatment and then some. they stole the patch. next thing they want is to play in the NFL and in major league baseball. Consider this. 3 out of 4 players in the WNBA as of right now are lesbians.

they were helped by democrats

When I went through BCT we had lots of females in our company. Not a single female passed all of the required ruck marches and PT tests. They were just pushed along. It is a shame what the army has become, a shadow of its former self.

It doesn't matter what I think. They got the same chances to pass as there male counter parts. I have a friend (a Marine) who does not think they belong.
