Great job Rangers. Look what you've done


My fat know it all Aggie brother in law was a Ranger. Got dammit if I don't respect the shite out of our military and his service, but he makes it hard to imagine how hard becoming a Ranger really is.

This, the dropout rate at BUD/S is already like 90% of candidates and these are some hard frickers ringing that bell. I don't care how many wanna be Demi Moores sign up, not one will make it.

If Ronda Rousey pulled a Pat Tillman she could pass and would be able to run for President one day

I cringe the day they let women into my mos I know it's coming but frick. I went 60+ days with limited food and water no showers eating at times stray dogs( better than goat for what it's worth). I like women but hell no I don't want them next to me for that period of time nor would they want to be there with me.


Like you didn't wish you had some pussy around while dealing with that BS!

Guessing the kind of "woman" who would have any chance of passing has a pair of undescended testes and a dick-like clitoris.

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.

I am certain they will not reduce standards to force a woman through.

No way.

And I'm certain that if they drop the requirements for the teams, there will be a mass exodus of guys with tridents for the private sector immediately. People think BUDS is it. Pass hell week you get a trident. Its not. That's barely the beginning. It gets worse. And in the end, even if you pass everything physically, they can still wash you out because you don't fit in. You have to assimilate into the SEALs. You don't get to check off boxes and then graduate. That's not how it works.

So even if there is one single female on this planet that could take the physical and mental tasks and survive it, if they don't want her to get a trident...

she's not going to pass. And it's that way for a reason and that reason has nothing to do with social justice, equality, whatever other dumb shite people think. It has to do with a SEAL Team being the deadliest unit on the planet with no weak link.

And this will never, in a million years, happen to a female BUDS graduate.

Will be career suicide for anyone who does this.

Say goodbye to that notion, because female "SEALs" are coming.

Shite, dive phase will probably wash out any female that could possibly make it through Hell Week and the odds of that would be about like hitting the Powerball. The only way a female could make it through BUD/S would be if they lower the standards.

Right, you are voted into the teams. It's just not something that is going to happen. Sorry ladies. Your vagina isn't meant to stay that wet anyway.

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.

Is that true? I haven't heard they changed it at all.

My thoughts on that were if they passed that shite, they deserved to be Rangers, but if they changed the test for them, thats fricking bullshite.

It's not going to happen. Like I said, the day it did, they'd lose billions of dollars worth of SEALS who would walk. Which is more important, a functioning SEAL option or one woman getting that trident? They won't care about careers. A lot of SEALS abandon their commission to become a SEAL anyway. They care about the teams and their mission. Everything else is noise.

That's why it's laughable that an admiral says they'll open it up to women because he KNOWS it's not going to happen, but hey, we opened up to the, right?

True and with the SEALS being Obama's and probably the next Presidents "go to" option for handling our new covert missions, I doubt either would want to take that risk.
