There are way lower standards for regular women in the service.  Same with law enforcement.  

I have been aware of talk about women attending Ranger School for at least 20 years.  I always thought if it happens they should maintain a single standard instead of male and female standards.  I'm glad that is what they decided to do.  This is still considered a pilot program.  Part of the reason is because women have been attached to Ranger tasks forces in Afghanistan during combat patrols.  Apparently, less than 3% Army personnel graduate Ranger School.  These women proved they are tough enough and have the leadership skills necessary to graduate Ranger School.
