Woman attains Green Beret rank for first time in US military history

A woman will join the ranks of the Army's most prestigious special operations unit for the first time in United States history.

Speaking during the graduation ceremony for the U.S. Army on Thursday, Commanding General for Army Special Operations Command Lt. Gen. Fran Beaudette encouraged graduates to break through barriers and "smash" stereotypes.

“From here, you will go forward and join the storied formation of the Green Berets where you will do what you are trained to do: challenge assumptions, break down barriers, smash through stereotypes, innovate, and achieve the impossible,” Beaudette said.

The female soldier, whose name is being withheld due to privacy statutes, completed the grueling Q course and became the first woman to obtain the heralded honor since the Department of Defense cleared the way for women to enter the Army's special operations jobs in January 2016.

And here I thought the Green Berets were trained to kill people.

Makes me wonder if a 'trannie'.   Named KATE?    OR DYKE.

Although the female soldier becomes the first woman recognized as a Green Beret, Capt. Kate Wilder completed the Q course but was denied acceptance into the program. Wilder later won a discrimination complaint against the U.S. Army and received a letter of certification.=ARTICLE

I had no idea that Green Beret was a rank. Things have really changed over the last 50 years or so.

Each branch has Special Operations elite units, trained to do lots of things, including killing.
