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

ooo boy

Edit:

Ok first off that's the Daily Mail, which is the same rag that Snowden's buddy works for (if I'm not mistaken). Secondly, 'unnamed general this', 'sources say' that, 'people allege that' the other, Nothing verifiable, nothing substantive. It's a hit piece.

I wouldn't be surprised if any of it was true because this PC leadership is dead set on it happening...but nothing in that article makes me confident it did.

My son was one of the instructors when the first female went to Ranger school from West Point they will push through the school and the standards were different for example a male soldier can be recycled if he failed leader ship of the females were not graded on that The learner ship by their peers And as you know you know you can only be recycle two times but you cannot fail the same course twice since the females were not graded on leader ship by their peers they were allowed to fail two times on the same event So that right there shows your double standards males can get kicked out for leader ship females can females can feel the land now course twice males can’t

Ranger tab. Nov ‘ 66. In ‘ OLD’ Ranger school there were NO RECYCLES except medical you got ONE shot to complete in 9 WEEKS NOT 4 to 6 MONTHS why have standards been lowered SO much? So girls could pass? RVN Inf Combat Vet Ranger Advisor Vietnamese Army ‘ 68 - ‘ 69

It's an Infantry school and being that there aren't any women in the infantry they should not have been allowed to attend Ranger School

Who knows? There are females in the military just as dedicated as their male counterparts, not only mentally, but physically. It doesn't matter to me one way or another.

All soldiers deserve outstanding leadership. I graduated with class 10-98 and could not have done any of it without the support of my squad. I wholeheartedly believe those women gave 100% and then some, while facing the challenge of people in their own community who were rooting for them to fail. It is this Ranger's humble opinion that any unit that these women are assigned to is lucky to have them, as they have survived the crucible with determination and intestinal fortitude. A lot of the commenters here do not have the experience of attending this particular school, and their doubts are born of disbelief, ignorance and cognitive dissonance. I for one, am proud to call Rangers Griest, Haver and Jaster sisters, and should I meet any one of them or all three, the first round of beers is on me.
Rangers Lead The Way.

They passed by today's standards! Are today's standards and ethics the same as years passed? If you say no, then you believe the Ranger School was tougher back in the day and not as tough today. If you say yes, you believe that these two officers made it through the course with their own determination and grit. I would like to believe the latter. I will not say they passed Ranger School with cadre help or leeway of some sort. To do so would Slight the Cadre that I respect and hold to high standards. Rangers Lead the Way and Hopefully have not compromised the high standards of this leadership school.

I have seen many strong, all muscle women while I was federal agent They don't generally possess the upper body strength of a but women can endure pain for long periods of time. I don't believe the process was fixed. As an investigator you cannot keep a conspiracy secret for a long time before someone gives up the truth. I don't see DOD doing anything special for them so they could pass the course. My only regret is that they are not allowed to use these hard fought for skills.

It is despicable that this question is even being asked. Do Congressmen question any male recruits about special treatment? No. This is blatant sexism and an abuse of office to try and smear the female rangers. Disgusting.

I hope they pass on their own, but I doubt it. The reason why I doubt it, is because their PT standards is lower than the males.
