Probably, but it is still being weakened in order to push an agenda, and truth be told, we haven't really been challenged since Vietnam. We won in the Gulf and in Afghanistan (albeit our "wins" are probably only temporary, as the enemy is still in the field fighting the governments we installed) mostly through air power.

Well now I'm looking forward to the first stolen valor video of a woman wearing a tab now.
There are too many problems that women serving in a combat arms unit would bring. Hell many of them bring enough trouble to a bsb or bstb. Now I've had a great female company commander that was medical services. But women aren't meant for artillery, cav, infantry (light and heavy)
I remember one of our female medics freaking out on one of the ranges last year when an artillery man lost his fingers. She rendered no aid at all.

May be good for moral to have some field pussy on hand in the combat zone. But, these holes probably don't caught it up to men.

I have no issue with women going, but they were given an unfair advantage IMO
Being allowed to be in RTAC that long, along with all those recycles is bullshite
My buddy has been with them from the start and is also graduating...so I should be able to get all the juicy details

Make sure to report back. This is what the guy I know had to say, but it sounds like sour grapes

Yep, I was in their class all the way until I was dropped in mountains for patrols. I watch the females commit friendly fire and miss their time hack on the objective and still got a go. The whole class was a complete circus. The media caused us to get smoked 10x worst because the RI'S wanted to show off in front of the cameras. I recycle every phase twice because of them. They recycled a 110 of us in Darby because they didn't want the media think they were sexist. While recycled, we pulled the stats from every squad..if you had a female in your squad, about 2 out 17 got a go. Squads without women averaged about 15 out 17. The women then failed patrols twice and about to be dropped, but they threatened to go to the media so the school house gave them a day one insert. Then they went straight through nonstop the third time. The RI were told to pass them regardless and the president scheduled his speech for the ranger class before they made it to FL

Ranger standards aren't high enough if woman can make it.

She was one of our guest speakers during my time at CGSC.
Very sobering session to say the least.
