aujeff11 6,243 Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 The women in Israel part threw me off and then I saw the reason why. Mostly, this article corroborates the thoughts that I have about this subject though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest NC1406 Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 MARSOC requirements are pretty demanding. If you have it, you have it......gender shouldn't matter. Reality says that over 99% of us don't have it no matter our gender. The physical requirements will make it extra tough on females. edit**I read the article but after listening to the video, this is more about combat troops than Marine Special Forces. Infantry and Artillery were specifically mentioned in the video and while those are tough jobs they are not Marine special forces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rangers is Spec ops within the army department as well but they are stragecially different than SF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
