The Washington Times<\/a> reports that 5 female soldiers passed out of the two-week Army National Guard Ranger Training and Assessment Course. <\/p>\n

Out of 122 soldiers to start the course, 48 percent passed. There were 43 male dropouts in addition to the 21 women, Army Times reported Wednesday.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis first iteration of an integrated RTAC has provided significant lessons learned as we conduct a deliberate and professional way forward to the integrated assessment in April,\u201d Maj. Gen. Scott Miller, commanding general of the Maneuver Center of Excellence, Fort Benning, said in a statement, Army Times reported.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In my mind, the idea that the standards are realistic is solidified, at this point. Of course, the social engineers won’t see it that way.<\/p>\n

From The Army Times<\/a>;<\/p>\n

The five women are all officers.<\/p>\n

The Army announced in January that it plans to conduct a one-time, integrated assessment at Ranger School in April.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I’m sure the social engineers will se this as a failure of the system, rather than a failure of the individuals who couldn’t meet the standards for whatever reason. But the success of even one woman would prove that the standard isn’t impossible.<\/p>\n

But, of course, the social engineers aren’t the people who will have to deal with the consequences of lowered standards, nor will they feel even a twinge of guilt when the body bags start filling up.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
