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.
