Semi-OT: First Female Rangers

[Matt Wiser]

In the tradition of Bobbie Lee the Ranger, here's the first two women to earn the Ranger tab in the U.S. Army. Both are officers, and both are also West Point graduates. Even if they never serve in the 75th Rangers, they are the first who would be so eligible. Well done, ladies.

You may know the story of Dr Ruth Westheimer, who was a sniper long before she was known for her current job. And ask my mother if women can kick ass.

Don't forget the "Night Witches" during the Great Patriotic War.

Also, are those buzz cuts compulsory for women in the US Army?

My Mum was a racing car driver when I was little, her major sponsor was Shell. Women can do anything.
