Eight Women Still in First Ranger Class

Out of 20 women who initially qualified for the Army Ranger course, 19 actually started, and eight remain after the first week. The pass rate at this point is fairly close to that for men. Typically, about 45% of students pass; in THIS class, the rate is about 48% for men and 42% for women. The vast majority of those who fail historically fail PT testing during the first four days.

Interesting gear list for the women. Included is what they call a FUDD: a Female Urinary Diversion Device that allows them to whizz without worrying about privacy. I wonder if Elmer had anything to do with that. ;)

Women who successfully complete Ranger School will receive a certificate and be awarded the coveted Ranger tab. They will not, however, be assigned to the 75th Ranger Regiment, which is separate from Ranger School.
So this is a complete waste of taxpayer money.

If I were in charge, I'd be encouraging (and training) as many female types as possible.

We don't have to use them as Rangers/SEALs. Certain skill-sets and 'talents' would be quite useful in other areas of gov't 'work.'

The problem is that we can't be confident that there isn't a bias such that a woman who would not still be in if she were a man is still in. I'm sorry, but we can't. And I know we all know that is true even if there are some who won't admit it.

That's why the military has certain standards. You pass the physical (and other) tests and you graduate. You fail and you go home. There's really no bias involved. Now, if they lower the standards for women, then that is a different debate entirely and a legitimate one.

Didnt read the article but none of the 8 women can do virtually anything the men that go through Ranger classes do.

Can you prove that, Alpha? I heard tell that once upon a time at U of Tampa, a certain lady in the ROTC program was used as an example to the male cadets of exactly how PT should be done. She kicked their shells up and down the PT course.

No she didnt.

Look you can buy into the women are equal BULLSH*T but anyone that knows anything about physics will just laugh at you. Men get into the Rangers, not the men that drink Zima and think its OK to cry and watch reruns of friends. Not the "men" that are portrayed on TV now days and most definitely not the "men" that frequent the east coast.

Just because you have a cock (or suck one) doesnt mean you are a man.

There are obviously women who can best the overwhelming majority of men with respect to certain physical challenges. For example: The women's world record in the 100 meter sprint is 10.49 seconds. Obviously that's faster than over 99.99 and a bunch of other 9s men could ever run it.

But there is also no doubt that, on average, men are way more "physically" capable on average than women are and that we've entered an era in which we are more interested in making sure that we have "diverse" representation in terms of sex in any given area as we are in making sure we have the most effective unit.

I think the same thing is true of race, by the way, as long as you're not talking about something where "under represented minorities" aren't "under represented." So we're not concerned if 76% of the NBA is Black even though Blacks are only 13% of the population but we ARE concerned if 4.5% of those receiving Engineering degrees are Black because they are 13% of the population. That sort of thing.

The point is that we are in a time in our history where having the most effective unit is not really the objective. The objective, instead, is to have a reasonably effective unit while also making we have sufficient "diversity" in terms of both sex and race. And "diversity" is code for "having enough Blacks and other under represented minorities as well as enough women."

STOP THE PRESSES

That acronym may be a total accident

But if whoever came up with it knew that Cockney slang for "vagina" is actually "fud" then I bow to their AWESOMENESS

That's true. She dated a male porn star. She's just a hetero slut.

Dating doesn't make a person a slut.


Now, if she wrecked a marriage like Amy Grant then you can call her a slut.

Are there not sluts that simply sleep around and do not break up marriages?

Slutress would be more appropriate here.

Thank you for proving, once again, that females are not capable of matching the efforts of the best men. Low expectations...congrats! :lol:

The fact is that these women in the Ranger class are simply window dressing. They aren't real Rangers. Call them the Ranger Model Squad...nothing but poster material for the men to use for masturbation.

Can you imagine one of those chicks being sent on a mission where they had to swim across shark infested waters...and they started their period? Her screams of agony from being shark bait would be heard by an enemy patrol and the real Rangers, men, would get killed. :ohno:
