Army Stonewalls on Female Rangers

Imposing the demented leftist dictum that there is no difference between men and women will have the same effect on the military as on engineering. As a Congressman, Steve Russell (R-OK), a ranger school graduate, tried to find out how badly standards are being degraded so as to produce female Rangers for purposes of political correctness. The Army stonewalled him:

[Russell sent a letter that] asked the Army to provide all internal Ranger School documents related to the female candidates’ training and assessment, including “test scores, evaluations, injuries, pre-training and more.”

Russell had spoken to several [Ranger Instructors] who told him one story—that standards had been lowered and senior Ranger Training Brigade officials had unduly influenced the outcome of the course—while the Army was telling him another—that everything was the same as always. “The training of our combat warriors is paramount to our national defense,” Russell wrote to Secretary of the Army John McHugh. “In order to ensure that the Army retains its ability to defend the nation, we must ensure that our readiness is not sacrificed.” …

McHugh’s office responded to Russell’s letter one day before the due date and asked for additional time to complete his request. Nine days after that, Army officials informed Russell that nearly all of the training records (including, presumably, the observation report reproduced above) had been destroyed.

This calls to mind Hillary illegally destroying documents that had been subpoenaed by Congress. It’s not something you do unless you have a great deal to hide.
