"Women are natural gatherers. They are keenly observant of their environment: subtle differences in pattern, color, background. They had to be to find and gather food and raw materials for making things. Everybody has skills. That’s why we survived as a species. In a military environment, women it turns out are better at reconnaissance, they aren’t tricked as easily by camouflage. They are also very good snipers for the same reason."

The things you just outlined would apply to a hunter. Also, I've never met a sniper, ranger, SEAL, or Green Beret who thinks that women have a place in the special ops community.

Whether or not women have place there is a different issue than the skill.
