I would call any war Israel (modern) has fought in ‘dire circumstances’. They’re outnumbered massively.

But, since their cultural and military goal was to PRESERVE Israel as a going concern, when the women in military thing didn’t work out they stopped it before it did irreparable harm to their ability to sustain that culture.

I don’t see that sort of intelligence or protective instinct coming from our government anytime soon...

That's the only time women should be in direct combat where in situations like that, you need to arm everybody if there is a threat of getting overrun. Well in that case, I'd be arming everyone from 10 years old to 100.
