Capt. Kristen Griest, one of the first women to earn the coveted Ranger tab, will once again make history by becoming the Army’s first female infantry officer.

Griest is expected to graduate from the Maneuver Captain's Career Course on Thursday wearing the distinctive blue infantry cord, officials confirmed to Army Times.

"Like any other officer wishing to branch-transfer, Capt. Griest applied for an exception to Army policy to transfer from military police to infantry," said Bob Purtiman, a spokesman for the Maneuver Center of Excellence and Fort Benning, Georgia. "Her transfer was approved by the Department of the Army [on Monday] and she's now an infantry officer."

Well, good luck to her.

But it's still stupid.

    No matter what she, or the Army brass, call her, she and every woman in the military are second-class soldiers/sailors/Marines and pretenders.
    Until they perform to the same standard as men, they are poseurs. And every infantryman she “commands” will be thinking that. Shouldn’t even be allowed to wear the same uniform until they meet the standard that uniform represents.
    It was laughable and yet forgettable in support units. Its intolerable in combat units.

    Yeah, operating in denial of physical and biological facts is always a winning plan.
    Humans are sexually dimorphic, which is a fancy way of saying boys and girls are different, mmmkay? Making believe that this isn’t so is going to end in disaster, and when it does, mark my words, the same assholes forcing this issue are going to look all surprised at the Army, Marine Corps, and other services, and then blame them for “…not telling us we were wrong…”.
    The more I see, the more that I think I was wasting the time I spent defending this clusterfuck. Seriously–Could the fucking Communists have done more damage to our nation than what our own “elites” are accomplishing before our eyes?

    Meet the army’s first female infantry major, lieutenant colonel and rifle battalion commander. Unless hordes follow, she is a lock unless injured or decides to start a family. By the way, particularly so if she goes to heavy assignments, the physical difficulty gets less demanding after LT, so things should be easier for her now.
