(17,997 posts)I'm surprised at your OP. I'm unsure if you are being sarcastic, seriously questioning the abilities of women, wondering why any woman would want to be an Airborne Ranger or just curious what people think.
It has everything to do with fairness. With equality. If a woman can physically do the job, then she should have as much of a right to pursue it as any man that is physically able to do the job.
I don't understand why anyone wants to take the chance of being blown to bits. I have never understood why women weren't included in the draft. Even before women were allowed in combat, it always struck me as unfair that women weren't drafted and put to work in noncombat positions.
Women should have the right to be blown up if they want to be. More power to these two Airborne Rangers!
