Females, Like Males, Are Capable Of Being Airborne Rangers

Females Should Have the Right to Be Airborne Rangers Females, like males, are capable of being Airborne Rangers. A current example of this is the recent success of two females who were able to pass the daunting task of Ranger School on August 21, 2015. Sadly, there are still restrictions that limit the type of professions that women are allowed to be in the United States Military. These females proved that not only are various females competent but also are capable of doing just as worthy of a job if not superior to their male counterparts. Yet, after graduating Ranger school these two decorated female soldiers were still not allowed to go into the Ranger Regiment as stated in a CNN article. â€Å"Unlike the male graduates, the two women can†¦show more content†¦The standards for females in their respective military branches have always been subjected to lower terms rather than the set of standards set for males, as noted in the Military APFT (Army Physical Fitness Test) policy; for example, in the bracket of 17-21 years old, to pass females need 19 pushups and males need 42 pushups (Appendix A). However, for the first time in the military, Ranger school qualifications are not being subjected to these lower terms as the military normally does. Females are finally allowed to try out for the toughest United States Army Military School that the military has to offer. These selected females have shown that not only do they have what it takes to accomplish the toughest Army military school there is to this date, but they were also able to do it without the United States military branches or society lowering the standards for their qualifications. This is surprising since the females’ standards are lowered in every other branch of the U.S. Military. The selected females who passed the Ranger school qualifications have what it takes to be able to join their Ranger brothers (front lines) and should be given the right to join the elite 75th Ranger Regiment. They have earned and deserved the right to go to the Ranger Combat Zone, just like their male counterparts who passed the same program. As Admiral Jon Greenert stated in the CNN
