What was thought would happen by many, a U.S. congressman, citing "sources" who allege the Army's first female Rangers received "special treatment," has asked the Pentagon for test scores, evaluations and other documents related to their performance, according to People.
Instructors allege that First Lts. Kristen Griest and Shaye Haver, both West Point alums and the first female soldiers to graduate as Rangers, "did not carry the same amount of equipment as the men, did not take their turn carrying the heavy machine guns and were given intensive pre-training that was not offered to men," among other special exceptions, sources told People, describing the information given to Rep. Steve Russell, the Oklahoma lawmaker behind the request.
Instructors also allege that the women were
allowed to repeat parts of the school, at Fort Benning in Columbus, over
and over and over, but the men were given a limit on repeat attempts, according
to People.
