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. |

BTW, just for gee whiz info, per capita the USCG had a higher death rate in WWII than the army or navy, mostly because they drove the Higgins boats. |
