I understand there is at least ONE female Special Forces soldier serving on an A-Team as the Assistant Team Leder. This was a couple of years ago,so unless she has already been promoted to being a General Officer,she is almost certainly a Team Leader by now.
Could she have POSSIBLY completed SF Training Group while being held to the same standards as the male trainees?
Not one freaking chance in hell.
Not because she didn't want to or didn't try,but because she just wasn't strong enough.
Not that it matters. This was tried in the past,and officers were forced into retirement while NCO's were sent to non-SF units for not passing the women trainees. I don't remember the exact details at this moment,but 1 E-7 and 1 E-8 that were booted out of SF for not passing a female trainee took their cases to court and actually won a settlement that gave them their rank back,the fines they had been forced to pay,and an offer to give them another SF assignment.
Which they refused.
Ifn ah didun no betta,ah mite spect dey wuz thinkin it wuz a trap so dey could be knocked down again.
You can bet your ass they would have been marked men if they had ever put their uniforms and berets on again and gone back to work at a SF Group.
