    On Friday, two female soldiers will graduate from the Army Ranger School—the first time any women have overcome the fatigue, hunger and extreme stress that requires. Army Secretary John McHugh says completing the course proves that 'Every soldier, regardless of gender, can achieve his or her full potential.' But will these two be allowed to try out for the 75th Ranger Regiment, a Special operations force that’s still closed to women? General Ann Dunwoody also made history. She’s the first woman to become a 4-star Army General and the author of 'A Higher Standard: Leadership Strategies from America's First Female Four-Star General.'
