Congrats!
Got to remember that Israel has had women in the armed forces for years.
Are women is Israel in special forces-type groups?
Nothing personal, but
None are front line soldiers, none are spec ops. When Israel tried women in combat it was a disaster ... The US has had women in the armed forces separately since WWII ... now combined and sharing same quarters, many are not available for deployment due to pregnancy etc, leaving their units short-handed and sometimes not deplorable itself.
In combat, men fight for each other ... now put a female in the mix ... Women in combat in other countries has proven to be an extremely bad idea.
Quickest way to lose a war: micromanage from the WH or Congress; require a legal decision before any strike on the enemy; avoid all civilian casualties at any cost; under-fund the military,; reduce the total men under arms; place extreme reliance on overpriced very expensive complicated “wonder” and do-everything weapons; fight a multi-front territorial war against an unnamed enemy fighting a religious war;
and finally:
staff combat units with female soldiers and officers, fill ranks with as many openly gay and “other gender” types as possible;
and for the capstone - or tombstone if you prefer:
permit the unnamed enemy who has sworn to destroy you to make nuclear weapons; to buy ICBMs; to buy top of the line AA weapons; add $8 Trillion to the enemy’s economy and; protect that enemy from attack by others.
You and your children are dead - just you don’t know it yet.
Congratulations to Obama voters everywhere!
