First Female 'Green Beret' Candidate Fails Course

Man, when I first read this, I thought that "Fails Course" was the name of the first female green beret, and you were celebrating her achievement. Parsing sentences is tough.

That would make a good porn name. Perhaps a new career path for the young woman?

What is "the truth"? That women are generally not physically equal to men? No shit. There is not a single Democrat disputing that. But if a few extremely impressive woman are able to complete all of the required tests, I don't see why they shouldn't be able to fight as a Green Beret. This one wasn't able to complete the tests, so she can't.

Does anyone doubt that someone like Ronda Rousey would be a far more competent soldier than your average twig-man runner? In the interest of humiliating RADICAL ISLAMIC TERRORISTS, shouldn't we WANT to have some women soldiers helping to beat them down?

Democrats can't handle the truth.

100% of the women trying out lasted longer than a lot of men. I guess your point of view is there are a lot of pussies serving? Is that what the Trump supporters believe? You can't knock her without knocking every man who wasn't good enough to even get green beret training and all the ones she lasted longer than when there. You are cutting down a large percentage of those who serve...

If Hillary gets elected Commander in Chief shell order this chick will get her beret and within weeks become a team leader and senior officer.

All they have done is allow them to try.

It is doubtful that if a course eliminates 70% of applicants, than any female will ever get close.

That's physical tests of course. If its all mental, I'd expect a 48 / 52 split.

If they are selecting only the top 1% of men then there are no potentially qualified women. Rousey isn't anywhere near as athletic as a well trained 1/100 man. Even Caster isn't as athletic as a top 1% XY. It's just science. If a woman makes it through special forces training she is either an incredibly gifted hermaphrodite or the standards were lowered and she was pushed through for political reasons.. really no other possibilities.

Straw-man

They need to introduce different standards for men and women in the Green Berets like they do in the Olympics.

You look at the list each year of Heroes who risk their lives to save others. Almost ALL are men. Women have the same opportunity but it seems they are too cowardly to risk their lives.

Most Democrat women are little, pudgy tubs of goo. They are far and away the weaker sex.

Your 'statistics' are pulled from your arse. Where have you got 1% of men from? Far less than that make it to be a green beret I'm sure. Where have you got your 'facts' about Caster or Rhonda from?

I'm willing to bet good money that the top 1% of men in the world can't run anywhere near 1:55 or whatever Caster could do. In fact, it is rather easy to calculate for the UK, with our great statistical data available.

For an idea, in the UK in 2011 there was about 10 million males between the ages of 15 and 40.

1% of that is 100,000. You see where this is going.

The national athletic rankings in the UK register all performances by any British male. In 2011 they only showed performances up to 2:04. Last on the list was number 1259. Only 320 men broke 1:56. It's just science.

If a woman passes all the same tests that the men have to do, then why should she not be allowed to be a green beret? She knows the risks.

Perhaps not. But that doesn't mean they should be banned from trying, or that women should not be allowed to serve in other combat roles that have far less rigorous physical fitness standards than the Green Berets.

SFs can quit and go back to their units if they opt to or if they are failed by training staff. That's the American way of freedom and democracy. Why is it that the Marines do not have the 'exit option'?

Can a 100-p0und lady carry a 200-lb. man to safety? If not, she has no business being in the battlefield.

That's a dumb requirement. Just send a robot to recover dead corpses.

A dead corpse is redundant. Who will you send to recover injured Green Berets?

Yeah, great way to prove you are an idiot. Why not make her 80 pounds and the guy 350 if you're going to just say stupid shlt. I've been to the states, the percentage of your female population that is 100 pounds, and over 14, is less that 1%. Why not look at a population that is more representative - lets pretend Green Beret's are super fit. So - if you look at cross-fit women being able to carry cross-fit men - yeah, they 100% can. Did you have a poitn other than wanting to sound dumb?

Crawl back under your rock, fool.

The family gets a $1 Million award from the DoD so who cares. A ground drone vehicle can retrieve a dead body but it's dead so big deal just leave it there and save the US taxpayer's money.
