Sgt Sandra Cruz the first female Green Beret is set to graduate today . 9 July,2020.

Good for her, I hope everything works out for her!

congrats to her

Publicity stunt or the future of our fighting forces?

Tell her she fights like a girl and find out.

Pretty soon we will be seeing her on one of those Modello beer commercials. It's not were you come from It's what your made of.

i hope she passes but i pray to god the standerd was not droped just so she would pass. selection is ruf the same with the Q course. most men can not pass. so who knows. i talked to a staff seargent who was part of the cadrea at ranger school and he told me they had orders to let the first female gradute and that she was a strait up terd and a horibal soilder. that is just my two sence if i had to guies she was made to pass and will probaly be put at a desk and never go out on mission and leave the wire. the army is haveing a hard time recruting right now this would be a great publicity stunt to boost numbers in yung men and women.

Hopefully your high school didn't let you pass with that horrible grammar, spelling, and punctuation. Because if they did they lowered their standards for you.

There's this thing about glass houses and people living in them throwing them around all willy nilly.

Were not taking any English tests today are we?

Has anyone ever considered the rate of injury among females performing strenuous physical activity? I suppose it doesn't matter, the tax payers will care for them the rest of their lives after they blow out their knees/back/hips. Forget about the fact injuries are much more likely during combat putting everyone at risk, "girl power" is more important than some grunt taking a bullet cause he is carrying off an injured female solider.

Looks like some haven't taken a basic English class ever.


ohhh and pssssst... It's "We're".

No thanks!

Quite an accomplishment, congrats to her!

I'm glad we have you as our grammar and spelling cop on the forum. LOL

I have heard it argued that females are not good in combat because they think with their whole brain unlike men who only use half of their brain at a time, thus lessening reason and fear.


Could say the same about female doctors. An old trick for testing yourself to see if you have a mental block is a story. Thus, a man and his son were driving down the highway and crashed. The father was killed and the son was rushed to the hospital. Upon entering the emergency room, the attending physician seeing the patient said. I can't operate on him, he is my son! Who was the doctor?

Is she one of them transgender's?

His mother.

I wasn't going to post a reply here but after reading the news on her I have too! After graduation she stated it wasn't about wearing the hat like most of the guys are for, but it's that I graduated. So she just bashed her whole class and every Green Beret that ever was. Yeah Yeah I know women can do everything better than men. Just look in the movies women beat up men all the time. It is true it has to be. My son is in an Army infantry unit that is integrated with females but those females do not have to pass the same physical standards as the men but his commander is always making speeches how the woman soldier is equal to the male soldier. Think of it this way, you just called the police because someone who is stronger than you is beating the crap out of you. And in walks this person who is lighter and weaker than the average man. IS that who you want to show up in a time of terror. And on the flip side I'm not a woman hater women can do some things better than men but not everything just because of sex. That graduation was turned into a circus all about a female. What about all the other classmates that worked incredibly hard all those months. Not one word!

Anyway I digress.

Also, She may have graduated, but I'll bet she will never be put in the same situations that her male classmates will be put in on the job

It's Coonman's cousin. Give him a break.

Elkaholic Is a forum bully. LOL
