I subscribe to the mindset that men and women are not just physically different. They are physiologically different. Not only is a woman’s body designed to bear children, but the way her brain is wired is designed to be “maternal”. Likewise, not only is a man’s body designed to father children, but his brain is wired to be provider and protector of what is his. It is why very young children play the “damsel in distress” game where the poor helpless girls are protected by the strong and armed boys.
A man has the mindset to point a gun at the head of an enemy that is not actually doing anything violent at the moment and blow his brains out. A mother will come after you if you are attacking her kids. If you are not, not so much.
I over simplify, but you get my drift. Soldiers need to be able to START localized hostilities. Females are not designed for that.
All that said, with remote operations like piloting UAV’s chicks could maybe be even better than men. But it misses the point of this article, which is women taking on ALL traditionally male roles - even Special Ops. It may work great in movies featuring Angelina Jolie. In real life it is a farce.
I think you are mired in stereotype and if you truly examine the world history of women in warfare, and women who led their nations during war, you will discover the necessary savagery to kill in support of a higher cause transcends sex.
Today as I type probably half or more of our nuclear missiles are at the fingertips of female officers who could be ordered to launch them in the next 10 minutes. Do you think they will hesitate?
In fact, we may hope the women do NOT ever rule the world.
