With "integration" a fact for nearly 60 years, a third of the force and half the officers female, I'm not sure of the relevance to the US experience. Not to mention the relative "manpower" needs.

Israeli women’s combat roles exaggerated, military traditionalists say Besides, while I’m an alien and that you should take me to your leader is a great answer, ‘What are you?’ is a question the would get you in trouble with most employers in the US>
