And your solution is?
Women have contributed greatly to our successe in the recent past, but the place for them isn't deployed forward. As our technology makes it possible to 'reach back' to areas well behind the combat zone for various combat multipliers, such as intelligence analysis, USAF BASOPS, etc, we ought to leverage that capability to keep women out of combet.
A woman sitting in a stateside vault in the basement of a building in Langley sending intelligence analysis to the general in Iraq via the network is not a whole lot different from the same woman sitting in a basement in a palace in Baghdad sending the same analysis upstairs via the network to the same general.
That's where women who want to support the war effort ought to be, IMHO.
I think we can use stateside women to solve certain other problems, too. For instance, sorting mail in theater is stupid as hell. When I lived at one of the larger installations there, we had a captured theater that was turned into a postal sorting facility. They couldn't keep up with the mail coming in, so they took volunteers from units living around them to help sort it all, until some dumbass figured out that was probably against postal regulations. After that we lost several weeks in delivery time for care packages.
The DoD should have bought the postal sorting facility that was closed by the '91 Anthrax scare and used it to pre-sort mail headed to Iraq and other countries before it ever left this country instead of sending it in connexes that then get sorted on the other end. That facility could have been manned by some of the hundreds of postal unit personnel sucking up logistics in theater. Once the mail is sorted, the mailbags get sent to theater through the existing supply system right to each company's supply sergeant. Presorting would be a good job for stateside female support.
Since you asked.
