Look at what the Soviets did during WWII. Entire squadrons of bombers and fighters flown by women. Tanks with women crew members, tanks with women commanders, tank battalions with women commanders, women snipers, women field medics in infantry units. Women on artillery crews. When it comes to survival of a nation, there is no second place.

The USA isn't the Soviet Union

That is because we have two very broad oceans on either side of us and two very weak nations to the North an the South. We are very well insulated from direct invasion.
The Soviets and Israelis are not that fortunate. They had to employ women in large numbers to maintain their very existence. I suspect that should we ever have to face that dire a circumstance a lot of traditional male only military positions would fall by the wayside.
