The fact is Major Domingue did it!

Actually she failed, and was allowed the uncommon honor of trying again. Something I'm sure had nothing to do with what sex organs she was born with.

Edit: Apologies, she actually failed three times.

Clearly she was a qualified candidate who deserved the honor of graduating ranger school, and not at all given special treatment because she is a woman and the woke army leadership cares more about "social justice" than mission readiness.

I'm pretty sure you can go back to try Ranger school again. You just need to have your command be willing to take up the slot and continue to back your candidacy.

In her case, she did the smart thing by not going back home then trying to come back in at a later date.

As for passing all the tests, I can't say if they altered standards for her or not. Nothing in the article says that happened though.

It's very, very uncommon for someone who has failed out multiple times to be allowed to repeat ranger school, especially when the failure is due to not meeting the physical requirements. Recycling within the school is more common, but I believe she was only recycled once, of the multiple failures she had.

The article does its best to pave over her multiple failures, and pretend like it was a big win for her personally and women in the military as a whole.

It's not, if anything it just shows that the military is slipping into showmanship and virtue signaling as opposed to actually maintaining effective warfighting capabilities.

I'm not seeing anything she accomplished as impressive. Being handed an award because you were born a woman doesn't garner my respect, nor inspire admiration.

Translation: Open hostility over the setbacks. She's not the first Army commissioned officer to have setbacks and likely NOT the last either

She is the first to be congratulated for failing three seperate times with a nice fluffy PR news article and a shout out from the WA Governor however... wonder why that is?

Sorry, she isn't special for completing Ranger School, turns out men have been doing it far better for much longer.

The only thing special here is her Sex, and the sheer amount of congratulations she received for failing multiple times.

Do I sense sexism being exposed here?

At least she's a commissioned officer of the WA St Army National Guard.
