Is this really true? Has the military gone this far?

A Petticoat Military: Comedy in Uniform | My blog

The military, once again, puts women into jobs the cannot do–this time, the Army’s Rangers–to advance the careers of political generals–among others, Maj Gen. Scott Miller, who oversees Ranger School. Or what used to be Ranger School.

They better give hazard pay to whomever tries to put that on me. Someone has way too much time on their hands.

I'm glad Walmart didn't sell those things back in the 80s and early 90s. My wife would have made me wear one for 27 months.

The blog post has some less than subtle sexualized misogyny (which hugely detracts from the argument) but it does raise interesting questions. When two parties disagree publicly it is often beneficial to ask "Qui bono" Who benefits from lying?

Yeah this is pretty weird, i have never come across this in my 30 years. I have worked with tens of women on duty in active and reserve. They are highly motivated and dedicated group of professionals. Not all are perfect or fit for combat duty, not all men are either.
I would like to know if this is required by some command.

This is totally disgusting! Even if it is a joke, these Soldiers (and I use the term loosely) should be ashamed for disgracing the uniform! The so-called "sensitivity" training is making our military look weak and ineffective to the rest of the world, including terrorists! I wonder what Generals Patton, Abrams, or Eisenhower would think about today's Army?
