A House Republican is investigating the test scores and
supporting documentation for the two women who last month became the first
female graduates of the Army's elite Ranger School.
Rep. Steve Russell (R-Okla.), a Ranger graduate who

My Take - This is
the military story to watch. Women aren't structurally designed to perform
physically as well as men, especially since the Navy is now going to open Seal training to women. I find it hard to believe these women successfully

get over it. The military do two things really well. Kill a lot of people and
destroy a lot of property. It's not a social experiment for leftists.
