I'd say shame on them for this but I imagine shame is something incomprehensible to them.
So to her I say good luck, you have damaged a Regiment founded out of conflict by men that you will never work with for they will go to units that have not sold their souls, not yet at least.
To the guys responsible for this, I work very hard not to damage my Karma by trying not to wish you a painful and well deserved death with eternity spent in hell, however, I am finding that very difficult.

Oh, so correct when you say it was a "setup" when they passed her. I agree, standards are standards and to lower them just to "pass" this female is dead wrong. Sorry, but if you cannot cut it, then bye...bye....if you tried and failed at the highest standards; then at least you gave it your all. If someone set the bar low and you failed; well you freaking failed which shows you could never cut it at the top level. It's a shame when higher ups decide to lower the level of excellence just because it's "political"; and yes I say political because that's exactly what this is. “Oh, let’s pass a woman because it’s politically correct”….Total BS….
There is a reason why only a selected few make it, and that's why the standards were so high. You want the best, and you want to make sure at this level you challenge that individual to be at the top of their game. After all, it’s other people's lives you’re gambling with every time you go out on a mission; and you want the most experienced and skilled people when you are out there. You need to be of top caliber, because it’s all about cohesiveness in a team that makes you better prepared, and saves lives. That goes for anything in life; set the bar high, which will encourage people to reach their upmost potential. Hey, we have failed in society now-a-days just because we became too soft; just like play-doh…..it’s a damn shame…..
