[quote=Anonymous][quote][b]women army rangers were allowed to repeat parts of the course, on opportunity not offered to most men[/b]. Thats a fact stated in the report. I am surprised the horn was blown so loudly. It should be blown when women pass under the exact same conditions. At that point, I think you then have more questions than answers. How does it effect unit cohesiveness? Should we also draft girls now that they have proven themselves 'equal'? Does combat require something other than physical readiness? Why do we expect all men to have that quality - clearly there were many who did not want to go to Vietnam. Should we stop registering all 18 year old men, and only register the young girls and boys who want to sign up? I have questions and I don't like the top down approach to this. I am glad different forces are conducting these studies. I think we need more of them before we make drastic changes. Many more.I hope they are listened to thoughtfully by the brass and congress, but given the priorities when it comes to managing our defense these days I doubt it.[/quote]
That's not true. It is obvious you do not know what you are talking about. Men are recycled and allowed to take the course again. Having a women in a Sf would greatly increase units operation capacities(Many SF are recruited out of the Rangers). They are already including women in teams. They are attached but they are not a combat arms. It has to do with fighting and deploying in Muslim countries. Men are not allowed in many areas, are not allowed to talk to women, etc. if you break these customs your cover will be blown. Also in other countries, it is common practice to id SF teams by the lack of women. There is a long history of women in combat. So your argument has been surpassed by facts on the ground. [/quote]
