“There are no women in Israeli combat units”

That’s not longer true. Women currently make up 3% of the IDF’s combat soldiers. It remains to be seen how that will work out for them.

Many of our specialties designated as “combat” aren’t really battle focused, and many soldiers in such specialties would be with infantry units, technically, but in main battle areas (today’s rear). There are many paradoxes and contradictions in terminology. Today, from some of the terminology and schools (e.g., airborne), a woman can look like a rough, tough soldier, word wise. She can incur quite a bit of physical and psychological damage from social interactions, too.

Our military forces are a bloated, sick mess compared to what they could be under leaders like those of the early 1950s and before.
