The same is true for men.

Idiotic PC politicians are in contol of the pentagon now, not competent and professional generals.
This bullshite of trying to integrate Women into a comat role that they're biologically inferior too is going to get some good men killed and disrupt the cohesion and good order of the unit.

There's actually an unofficial physical assessment period before Prep School which is before INDOC before BUDs.
There's not a female on earth that could even get through INDOC, much less BUD/s, much less SQT, much less TRP all of which is before they get to team training.
There will never be a female SEAL. This is nothing but trying to appear fair.

Why is that you ask? How many friendships have been ruined over or because of women? We treat women different always have always will, most prefer to be treated differently. You put a women on my team for months at a time in combat there would be a better chance of distractions and distractions are not what we need. I could care less about the physical demands that doesn't bother me. One tour I spent 7 months sleeping on a hmmwv with 3 other guys. If me thinking I traded out one of those guys for a female would have disrupted what we accomplished call me a sexist.

Great job Rangers. Look what you've done

Interesting...just yesterday, I heard a radio interview with a high-ranking marine officer (female) who had been fired because she protested that fact that women are held to lower standards when trying to become marines...

if a girl can actually pass the exact sam BUDS that the seals pass and the rest of a team trust her. I have no problem with it. But they will not pass BUDS and no way in hell a team would trust her unconditionally.
This.
It's a non issue for them to open it to women because they won't be able to survive BUDS. Weak link carrying a boat or a telephone pole ends up taking most of the weight. Good luck with that ladies.

It's all good to say they won't pass the physical standards, but at some point they SJWs will question why the standards are so high and push for them to be lowered so a woman can pass. Book it.
This is a sad day for our country.

They'll lower the standards just like they did for ranger school

That's because the Marine Corps is too small and too under funded for the Navy to put up with this nonsense. Just because she increased rifle scores and PFT scores, doesn't mean they qualify for the grunts.

No, no they won't.
They can and they will, it's already begun. Regardless, there are females out there that could pass BUDS. It's not out the realm of possibility. BUDS isn't CAG selection, it's another military school based on mental toughness.

Just gonna have to agree to disagree on both. They're not changing 120+ weeks of training, most of which is exclusively designed by team members and with little oversight, just to allow a woman to keep passing phases. And no, I don't think there's a female who can pass a drug test and complete conditioning with the RIBs. Shoulders and necks are not designed for it.

Without reading a single responses, all I've got is, lol at the idea of a woman going through Buds.
Ranger school is a far far cry from that
