Yet they claim that women can qualify for our most elite special forces with no problems.This is a logical fallacy. Nobody believes women can compete in a men's sports league. That said, I remain a staunch supporter of the women's lingerie football leagues.
That's right. Women can't physically hack it to play a sport with men. But...they can and should be SEALS and Marine infantry and Delta Force.
So you believe eligibility for elite military forces is based solely on physical strength. Where did you serve, again?
Well...the first few weeks of elite military training is heavily based on physical ability.
Served? Not in military. I served 8 years with Atlanta PD. And our SWAT team had a PT test. Tough one too. Most women couldn't pass it. And the test would be seen as extremely easy compared to that of the elite military forces.
I'm sure it is far easier....
I was air force and out shot the man and came in second in the obstetrical course, I was the first girl to finish.
Top honors in academy. Graduated 8 week early.
My son trained with rangers and wanted to transfer to them, but his commander said no. He was an electrical engineer and too valuable to the unit.
I had been an athlete when I was young but damaged my back from a 12 foot fall because of a car bomb. It was a hard recovery, but I could not quite reach my former level.
Women are stronger than you think
