You're right
Just consider the high numbers of Israeli girls serving in the IDF.
And they rock! :)
They were the ones who had the ability to get into tight places to rivet critical components in place on the aircraft, that were the very reason we won the war.
They also flew those aircraft out to the battle zones and allowed out pilots in combat to concentrate their effort on destroying the enemy.
And never forget the nurses, clerks and moral they inspired among the men they fought along side of.
