WATCH: Retired Marine Reacts to Lower Standards for Women at U.S. Army Ranger School

Ranger School is one of the toughest training courses for which a Soldier can volunteer. Army Rangers are experts in leading Soldiers on difficult missions - and to do this, they need rigorous training. For more than two months, Ranger students train to exhaustion, pushing the limits of their minds and bodies.

However, since diversity has become one of the top priorities for the U.S. Military leadership, they have been pushing women into these combat roles. Unfortunately, standards have been lowered to allow women through the tough training.

To be clear, if a woman can qualify for these tough combat jobs, there is no reason they shouldn't be allowed in. But the standards are there for a reason and the Military is setting them up for failure by allowing them to pass at lower requirements.

  1. Agreed but there needs to also be a weight and height requirement. I no not eats 5’4”, 120# woman trying to carry my injured 6’2”, 190 pound Airborne Ranger son to safety. Also she must be able to tote the same 150# of equipment for the same distance and same length of time.

  2. Standards should not be lowered for women whether military service or civilian first responders! If a woman can pass unaltered physical agility tests then hoorah!!

  3. Why not lower the standards?
    Amerika has been lowering the standards for decades already in order to appease those who can’t.

    1. I agree, totally - standards can be lowered, but expectations will not in wartime, so it does these women absolutely no good!

  4. There's a reason why they're called standards and if you can't meet them you DO NOT being, period. Who's the idiot who changed them???

  5. I went through that kind of training to get my EIB and it took me three years to finish if we felled one course you had to wait another year. (Survival,) (All infantry Weapons), (Forward observer), (First aid,) (Bayonet,)(12 mile run in three hours with full infantry gear). (gas,) (Hand to hand combat,) no one lowered the standards you had to pass every test as an expert to receive the EXPERT INFANTRYS BADGE Only 15 out of 300 passed. For some reason I don't really believe too many women would ever pass that test and training. I could be wrong.
