This drive to open all schools and positions within the military is going to get good me killed. I have no doubt that there are a few females that could complete Ranger school to standard but anybody that ever served knows standards will be lowered to accommodate.
Just some of the excerpts from the article are laughable.

Test run suggests women can meet Ranger standards
Just some of the excerpts from the article are laughable.
Several dozen female volunteers completed training earlier this month similar to what Rangers would go through in their first week at the two-month school.
The women did not have to pass all events in order to be selected.
As part of the first week of the course, Rangers are required to complete a 5-mile run in 40 minutes or less and a 12-mile hike in no more than three hours. Students also have to negotiate an obstacle course and later conduct long patrols on little to no sleep. It is considered the most difficult training in the Army.
The Army won't change standards if the school is opened to women, said Brig. Gen. James Rainey, commandant of the infantry school.
