Have the women with combat jobs in the Rangers and Special Forces actually been fighting along side men?

This is a funny question, woman has being in the fight for a long time not as SF or Rangers but as Soldiers doing their job.

If one was down range you will had witnessed such a bravery. Panama invasion hello a MP female got in to an outstanding fire fight also Afghanistan translator Army female assign to SF did also did many fire fighting. Iraq female soldiers also did their fighting. Read about before asking .

Former 11B here.
I ETS'd before women were allowed in the combat arms... and honestly, when I first heard they were going to be allowed in, I instinctively shot down the idea.
Like wtf, it's a MAN's job.
But then I actually started thinking.

In my unit, we had someone who was fuckin HUGE. Buff ass silverback alpha male who joined our unit several months into our deployment... first firefight he got into with us, dude was hiding like a bitch behind a HMMWV the entire time. This dude had a ranger tab, btw. Jus sayin.

There were also other dudes who would freeze up and press their asses against the wall and literally not fucking move, no matter how much you screamed at them to.

And some scrawny ass dudes who would probably get their asses kicked by a strong, aggressive female, no doubt. They were physically weaker than some fitness girls I know. They definitely couldn't pick my 220lb ass up and carry me more than 5ft. Now take some of these other women who are boxers, cage fighters, etc.. the elite (ie, civilian equivalent to rangers, sf, etc..) Now these women -- imma be honest. They'd probably fuck me up. And I consider myself a pretty decent fighter with above average strength, agility, and definitely an animalistic mean streak when I'm angry.

I don't know the answer to your question, but I wouldn't necessarily count them out if they did fuck some shit up downrange.

Well lets just say this, I have never seen a woman go through SFAS or the Q

They have never been in my group that's for sure..

IMHO as I read your question is you are a anti-female Soldier discriminator. My advice is stop comparing a Soldier's abilities and capabilities to their gender.

I think its to early in the evolution to get a good read. Operators dont move into SOGs until they have been seasoned. It unlikely that any of the females pushed through infantry, combat engineer or ranger school have developed into that level of expertise.

Women can do attitude leads them on to do more than anyone thinks.

Let us not forget the Native American women who fought alongside the men and fought bravely. Definitely do remember Lori Piestiwa a United States Army soldier killed during the Iraq War.

I learned this very quickly after I entered the Army. If I am in a situation where I jump into a foxhole and have to depend on the other person in that hole to keep me alive, I do no not care if they are male or female, Tall or short, fat or skinny, Africian American, hawaiian, mexican, or whatever. I size them up quickly and if necessary square them away as quickly and as best as possible so I might live to see the next day.
