| #8 My friend (a US Ranger) told me about the female ranger course more than a decade ago. A quick google search indicates the first graduate was in 2014 so something doesn't match up with his story. |

| #7 "The politicians will simply find somebody who will produce the required results." Particularly as the required results it a lot of dead soldiers. |

| #6 Yep, that worked with the Iraqi army after we left. Appoint politically reliable and 'yes' men. The enemy doesn't give a crap about PC, politicians, or judges (politicians in robes), only to kill and win. Got to be careful about those things. Sometime some of those fellas figure they're going to die any way, why not die at home taking out the pols issuing stupid fiats rather than far away from home in some shit hole. At least in the former, there's a chance to survive. |

| #5 Whoever conducted the Marines test just ended his military career. The politicians will simply find somebody who will produce the required results. |

| #4 To paraphrase a fire chief, "I don't care who saves me, so long as they can pick my fat ass up and carry me down those three flights of stairs." |

| #2 Female Army Rangers? Please say it isn't so. |

| #1 Army discovered the same thing so they set up a women's Ranger course. Now you can see female Ranger's but nobody considers them equal because everyone knows they didn't actually pass the Rangers course. They would be better off doing it Marine style. If you make it great, you earned it. If not, hell some men don't. That's life and combat is brutal. |
