Female Green Berets: “…significant corruption, ethical and leadership failures, and potentially serious future problems….”

In 2016, the U. S. Army opened its special operations jobs to women. Army Times reported ten days ago that a female soldier has its Special Forces Assessment and Selection process.

Selected to attend selected to attend the Special Forces Qualification Course, if successful she would earn a Green Beret. While there are those who would celebrate such an achievement, for eight years we have witnessed the previous administration implement policies placing political correctness and ideology front and center of all areas of American life, including the U. S. Military. Transparency, common sense, safety, what is best and where we or the parties on the ground may end up is never a concern.

The following is an excerpt from an essay published this morning at Wow! Magazine.

ARTICLE:
I recently spent some time at the Special Forces Decade Association Headquarters, talking with a few generations of our finest.
There were some serious allegations about the first woman to pass the Special Forces “Q,” Assessment and Selection Phase course, recently. If these allegations are true, they represent to me significant corruption, ethical and leadership failures, and potentially serious future problems.
What I heard was this: the Assessment and Selection Committee Sergeant Major resigned his position in objection to what his NCO Cadres were ordered to accept.
The Cadre of the Assessment and Selection Committee were ordered to sign non-disclosure agreements to prevent anyone knowing that the woman in question was in fact non-selected by the committee for several glaring performance failures[…]

I recently visited Ft Benning GA to see my youngest son graduate basic. I took that opportunity to talk with every Drill Sergeant I could find as well as a couple First Sergeants and one CSM who gave my grandson a coin. That’s gonna burn his Combat Engineer father’s ass, LMFAO!
The Drill Sergeants, who represent the bottom line, the ones who train young, unprepared civilians and turn them into Soldiers told me that 60% of female infantry recruits fail because of hip problems. Of the 40% who do pass most of them get kicked out for improper sexual relations with their Team Leaders or others during deployment.
If y’all hadn’t picked it up from my writing I’m descended from Norse stock, I take great pride in that. In fact my surname, Ness, in Norse means “the point of the spear.” Shield maidens were not out of the ordinary in ancient Viking culture, but they were forced to do the same things the men did.
We shouldn’t break women while they are trying to become Infantrymen but we cannot allow “non-hackers” to complete the training and earn the title.
Standards must be met.
