>>Men can do this. Most women can’t.<<

I know you know I was joking with my previous comment, but I do believe your comment is correct.

I look at it this way: A man can send 500 men into battle knowing full well that at least 50 will be killed. It is much more difficult for a woman to do this, which is just one of the reasons there are few female leaders in ground combat (tv and movie fiction notwithstanding). A country who’s troops are led by women is almost certain to be overrun by more agressive nations.

The lack of a maternal instinct has its strengths.

Oh, really?
