75% drop out rateSince most men fail to make it through the training to become a navy SEAL, it comes as no surprise that a woman who attempted it left after the first week. The upper body strength alone would be tough for a female, and then you have the long term endurance issue that would knock out most men let alone women....
Just because the first one didn't finish doesn't mean others won't in the future. How many men don't finish the training? I bet more than half.
Also, physicality differs from person to person. For instance, this chick (who was an IDF soldier) could probably last longer than this guy (who has never laced a pair of combat boots in his life):

Candidate Set To Be First Female Navy SEAL Quits After A Week Of Training
A woman who enlisted to become the first ever female Navy SEAL quit after one week of training, reports Task and Purpose.
"The unidentified female candidate dropped out in early August during a three-week course in San Diego that began July 24. It was the first assessment of potential SEAL officers before they can be sent on to more grueling courses, according to the website, which cited 'multiple Naval Special Warfare Command sources,'" reports The Washington Examiner.
Before former President Barack Obama's rule change, which took effect in January of 2016, women were not allowed in United States Military combat roles. "But there were no female applicants in the 18 months since that historic change until now," reported CNN at the end of July, referring to the enlistment of the unidentified candidate.
There is still one remaining female candidate attempting to join the Navy's special operations teams; this unidentified woman is training for the Special Warfare Combatant-Craft Crewman (SWCC) program.

Do you have a problem with women trying to meet the standards that are already there?

At least she tried and is a loyal American willing to put her behind on the line for her country.
No shame in failing this program, there are other units she can join and help protect America.
If she has proven herself she should be given the chance. Hell, I can walk onto a baseball field in spring training and become a big league ball player if I prove myself and I haven't played ball since I was a kid, it should be no different for the military.
Anyone willing to patriotically put their life on the line for their countries freedom deserves respect. She didn't make it, maybe the next one will.
I watch American Ninja where they engage in a challenging obstacle course. Very few men or women finish it, but there are a couple of women who do. As long as they are most fit and mentally sound, I would think all soldiers want the best beside them in combat. The PC stuff shouldn't be an issue and it needs to be kept out of the military.

In the military? In order to get accepted into the SEAL program? Prove it.
Understood....as was the case here....no special accommodations. She just couldn't cut it.....like 75% of the males.Do you have a problem with women trying to meet the standards that are already there?
No, as long as they don't expect/demand special accommodations because of their gender.
But someone has to pick up the defense of this country because trumpanzees won't leave their parental units' basements.
How long? My entire life....and am retired Navy and have, as a Officer, on occasion, submitted with recommendations some of my sailors for the SEAL program. And my wife was in a support squadron whose main responsibility was ferrying SEAL teams to forward staging areas.In the military? In order to get accepted into the SEAL program? Prove it.
How long (if ever) have you lived in the U.S.? Almost every position has a limited number of vacancies to fill. When certain candidates are given preference over other candidates, that means that another candidate will not be selected. Is that really so hard for you to understand? Do you know of any occupation with an unlimited number of job vacancies? Of course not.
The truth, you mean. Women are in the military because they are needed. Why are they needed? Because there are not enough trumpanzee snowflakes qualified to join the military.But someone has to pick up the defense of this country because trumpanzees won't leave their parental units' basements.
This is what a mental midget like you resorts to after your phony arguments are exposed.

Wrong....if Trump trained to his peak performance as young male, he would have outperformed her physically...
The solution is simple. Some big strapping guy should join the program claiming that he identifies as a woman. Then when he gets through, voila! A woman made it through.
I applaud the young lady for trying, having said that I know some pretty tough guys that washed out as well, the cards were certainly stacked against her.
On the larger question of women in certain combat roles, the experiences of the Israelis' is telling. I've read a number of articles citing the huge number of women suffering injuries in the Israeli military. The most common seems to be stress related, physical not mental. Stress fractures and the like are rampant. It is usually blamed on the enormous weights these folks are expected to lug around endlessly. I have no problem with women assuming any role they're qualified for but Israel seems to be questioning the price of lifelong health problems many of these women face afterwards.

My entire life in the military, government and private sectors. But you ignored my point about unlimited occupational positions. Are you suggesting that the SEALs are authorized an unlimited number of positions and accept all who apply?
