Lt. Col. @AllenWest on his Controversial Tweet
Today on Kilmeade & Friends, former Congressman LT. COL. ALLEN WEST talked to Brian about his tweet that stirred up some controversy this week about women in Ranger and Navy SEAL training.
Women in Ranger & SEAL training? There is no equality in close combat. War is about fighting & killing. Will any uniformed leader say NO?

“WOMEN SHOULD NOT BE IN THOSE CLOSE-QUARTER COMBAT UNITS,” West told Brian. “I think the Navy SEALS have a graduation rate of that’s like under 40 percent. So are we going to change the standards to accommodate peoples’ warped sense of equality? We don’t need to do this with our most elite warriors.”
