Great post. So I hear the Israeli's use women in an intel roll, scouting before an war and interrogation. So if they have special skills in these areas and the Israeli's are smarter than the average bear, why the heck aren't we emulating them w/ the Women's IIF ( intel, interrogation force ) a division of one of our branches? Or does the ghost of Pasty Schorder still haunt all branches never to be exorcised?

Heck, you already know the answer to that. We are barely smarter than the average rock. Our government and military are too busy doing what is PC to properly apply areas of higher female proficiency. Doing so would require acknowledgement that men and women are different. And of course we know they are not - our government told us so.

There are also scale issues. Israel can have highly controlled screening for flights because they don't have hundreds of airports scattered across 50 states. Managing such a program scaled for the Israeli military is very different than managing a similar program scaled to ours.
