Link is weaksauce. I'm not looking all over the gd site for that bullshit.

Lol. Still, those females probably have more balls than 87% of GD.

Okay.......so?
A few women (some of whom have children so at least they aren’t man-hating) passed a rigorous course. What’s the problem? If they really want to take a 3 month class with no showers, catching trenchfoot, pissing and shitting outdoors, and get eaten alive by skeeters in Florida and all then have at it. There will probably never be a major world war again fought conventionally and the dudes that failed, simply failed. They ran, they marched, they put in the work, and are still a super small minority where other women could try to go if they wanted to and they don’t want to. Not seeing the issue not how this is yet one more Angry White Male fear of the West crumbling. |

White borders?
Lol The Rangers are legit turning into snow flakes. |

@freefalle7 your not as good as women. Also when do you suppose the first all female team will win "Best Ranger Competition"?

The name of the author is not surprising. She has been at it awhile.

Pure 100% Propaganda.
Don't believe a fucking word that cunt writes. |

I haven’t seen any in the wild yet but there’s plenty of dudes out here with tabs . I learned a while ago you have to work with someone to know for sure.

I know my ratchet ass couldn’t pass and 19 yo me was doing something else. I’m not kissing their asses or simping for them, but they did it. And there were the other women who went snd failed and didn’t tab so that dispels the “rigged game” aspect of it. It’s like getting pissed at Tiger Woods for being good at golf instead of basketball. |

More fem-nazi propaganda.
Ranger school was a bitch in the 1990’s. I have to assume the RI’s were instructed to give these gals a pass. Do they still do peer reviews? It would be interesting to see those. |

Same school they got 7 recycles not normally offered to men after 6 months of training duty not offered to men only to fail and pass only after the public media involvement was removed.
That school? |

View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Originally Posted By Silverbulletz06: Same school they got 7 recycles not normally offered to men after 6 months of training duty not offered to men only to fail and pass only after the public media involvement was removed. That school? Yes. The one where you can: Lose acountability of a lost soldier frat other soldiers leave a wounded casualty on the objective... and pass. That one. link Text Exchange One: Ranger Instructor 1: Female got a “go” last night. I was out there. She shouldn’t have. But it happened and [redacted] Ranger Instructor 2: Why did she get a go then? Ranger Instructor 1: I was out there until actions on [that is, the raid or ambush the platoon was supposed to conduct]. Never happened because they missed their hit time. 1SG recocked them [that is, reset the mission conditions and gave them the chance to start over]. That never happened because she gave abad head count three times. We finally realized their [sic] was a missing student. Ranger Instructor 1: Had to lock the [platoon] down and find this kid. Ranger Instructor 3: That’s a definite go haha Ranger Instructor 1: I thought after that the last nail was driven into the coffin. So I left. Ranger Instructor 1: [The grading instructor] gave her a go at the end of the night. . . . Different candidate: An RI with firsthand knowledge of the candidate’s evaluation explains, “During clearance of the [objective], she lost control of her squad, leading to fratricide” (i.e. leading to what would have been a friendly-fire incident if live rounds were being used in a non-training environment.) Understandably, this normally earns a failing grade (an “immediate no-go”). But it didn’t here. He also said the squad left the casualty behind when it withdrew from the mission objective, normally another automatic no-go. The mission, he said, was a disaster. Nevertheless, the instructor overseeing the female candidate’s patrol gave her a passing grade. Every candidate on the mission reportedly received a no-go, except one—the female. |

A woman graduating No.1 from Infantry OBC says less about her and more about either (1) shitty male infantry LTs, (2) weak IOBC standards, or (3) both.
I cannot imagine being a new Infantry 2LT arriving at his first unit and being hit with “you were in THAT IOBC class? You got beat by a girl?” |
|
What a fucking mess. This isn't gonna play out the way they think. Wait until one of these female tabs gets knocked up to prevent deployment.
And a tab is not the same as a scroll. Just because you make it thru ranger school does not make u a fucking ranger. |
|
I still can't see the added benefit of trashing everything and making a ton of changes in order to let the minority of the vast minority do something that they couldn't before. The military should be there to kill people and break their shit. Not some damned social justice experiment.

My local news has a story about how the majority of " frontline workers" in coronavirus response are women of color.

Do females have to do the exact same things to get through the school as males?

PT test Number one is possible, two is whatever they want it to be, and three Im sure was different gender standards. The top LTs in IOBC were 11:30 two mile, 100 push up 100 situp type guys. At least the poor souls in that class understand how the game was played. |

Fuck it, let em in and fight. They can pull a trigger just like a man.
Throw a 240B in their hands! |

I learned a while ago you have to work with someone to know for sure. So is Ranger school the new Basic? I am not a ranger. I would unequivocally say NO. Ranger school is a very important step in an officers career and of course for Rangers failing is a death nail for staying in regiment. Traditionally a lot of career weight is placed on it so women not being able to go was seen as holding their careers back in a way. Now there’s no excuse which may actually do harm to other female officers in other positions. This is all new culturally and so many things are changing in the army and military as a whole. Just in my time I’ve seen so many changes it’s nuts. At the end of the day a soldier proves their worth by their character, capability and work ethic and not what is on their uniform. That’s just my opinion. We have actual rangers who can give much more valuable insight than me. Again, not a ranger. |

I am not a Ranger, but I was an active-duty soldier for 12 years, and if the Ranger school let these women pass when it would have failed a man then fuck be upon those females and the schoolhouse.

If they really wanted to beat the patriarchy they'd demand a gender normed PT test....

View Quote I knew one of the RIs that was there for these shenanigans and helped blow that whistle. It was a group effort. There’s way more that happened than even those text messages. Pictures of their peer reviews, opords, and other student generated stuff. Copies of PT scores and everything. He was quite vocal. |

...and none of them could drag a wounded male soldier out to cover.

That site promotes itself as an independent news source for the military....
With a whole bunch of articles written by members of the Associated Press. lol. What a joke. Edit: Then going through some of the twitter accounts of other authors, there's anti trump stuff. A really independent unbiased news source. |

I don't care how they slice it. Without favorable treatment they go now where. They fill billets, then get knock up and taken out of the game, there is no replacement for her, so the rest of the team has to work harder to fill the gap.. Seen that go down more times than I can count in the 25 yrs I was in.
