Your premise is the correct one. Israel incorporated women into combat-ready units only because they had to as a matter of preparedness and national survival.

We’re not there yet.

We’re a huge nation of 320 million souls. I can’t imagine a situation where we’d need to use females in those roles. I’d rather see a foreign legion before that.

“Israel incorporated women into combat-ready units only because they had to as a matter of preparedness and national survival”

I would disagree with this statement. Women in combat roles in Israel is, and always has been, a result of leftist political ideology except perhaps for the briefest of periods. After 1948 women were removed from any combat roles based on studies done of the effectiveness of inclusion in war. In 2000, the Equality amendment to the Military Service law stated that the right of women to serve in any role in the IDF is equal to the right of men. There was no pressing logistical need to do so.

The way things are going, we are not too far away from ‘there’——the commie Pres is doing his best to destroy this country and this is just another one of the ‘destroyers’-—the top ‘brass asses’ are the worst of all as they should know better but don’t give a sh-t just to keep their fat pensions——
