FORT BENNING, Ga. — Only a few days have passed since Maj. Lisa Jaster, 37, graduated Army Ranger School, but her 15 minutes of fame seem ready to expire without ever really having gotten started. The West Point graduate and mother of two endured each phase of the Army's most difficult training multiple times before being awarded the Ranger tab Oct. 16, but attention has focused on her female classmates who graduated in August.

Jaster is one of roughly three women ever to complete Ranger school, against an average of 2,500 males each and every year. Despite this success, she has only received two requests for interviews from local and national media. The first request came from "Pointer View," West Point’s alumni newsletter, and the second from Brazzers, a California-based video production company.

"Come on," said Jaster in a video posted on YouTube, since no camera crews followed her around. "Doesn't anybody even want to ask me vaguely insulting questions, masquerading as probing, thoughtful analysis?"

Pentagon casualties, metric improvement, and Fat Leonard’s least dignified phase.

A State Department map that relocated most of Africa, one ambitious government travel card, and 5,200 medical students moved from dorms that definitely do not have mold.
