I suppose it has to be pointed out that we fought the wars we had

Do you reckon the results would have been the same if sex was not a criteria in the draft or the
subsequent specialty assignments?

I think only about 30% of the women are really a good fit for the
military, any branch, any job and infantry might be more like 3%.
If you are talking about special ops, that is really a very small
fraction of a percent of all recruits men or women and of them it is
an incredibly small fraction of the women.
There are still plenty of jobs women can do in the military. I have 2
nieces who were in the navy. One was a corpsman, attached to the
Marines for a while and the other was an ET. Both were on carriers.
