Again, Ranger can always be changed. But even in a modified form it will still be an ass-kicker. And this COA is a far better one than allowing women to branch infantry, attend the far less demanding Infantry Officers Basic Couse, and be real deal platoon leaders. At least the ones the force is stuck with will have passed some sort of trial of will, even in a reduced form, and may be less of a burden to the warfighting career fields.

It would have been easy to do it the other way, and more politically expedient as well. Someone at the 4 star level is playing both sides. Better than I expected anyway.
