Im sure this will go very smooth and no standards will be lowered.

Rangers and SEALs? Terrible.

Let them try that ... if its anything like the Army females can be put in combat jobs , told they well get combat roles but it only happens like 10% of the time because most line units arent to fond of women on the line with them

As long as the standards aren't lowered... C'est la vie. I'm in a rate where all the women I work with have had to get through the same level of training I did... from Candidate School and Water Survival through SERE, they were expected to keep up with the men, and the instructors had no hesitation to drop any female who couldn't keep pace. I haven't had an issue with any of the ones who have made it.

Of course they will lower the standards to get women in. That is the reality of the political climate we are in.
If you do a military job where women are allowed, then your standards have already been lowered.
