1. I am not going to hold the malfeasance, bad faith, and whatnot of spineless, morally corrupt, and cowardly brass against these women. Yes, one would hope that they would have the integrity to call it off if they smelled a rat and/or preferential treatment. But given that they were likely not infantry and had little conception of the level of suck that can be experienced before they went to Ranger School, they may not have been able to detect preferential treatment.
2. The likelihood of these two women recycling twice at Benning (for a total of three fun filled cracks at Darby) and then making it through Dahlonega is very, very small. The spirit might have been willing, but I doubt the body would have managed it given they were already at a steep disadvantage walking through the door muscle mass, bone mass, and PT-wise. Before recycling twice. And then doing swamp in Florida.
3. I suspect the whole class got an easier time of it to help keep the accusations of preferential treatment to a minimum.
