There are numerous roles on SF team that a woman could fulfill.
Not being able to see because of outdated ideas of masculinity is actually a weakness, not a strength.
Woman can:- Plan operations
- Infiltrate targets
- Act as snipers
- Gather intel
- Mark targets
- Attack and kill male combatants.
Every team member can fulfill every task perfectly, so why hold women to a non-existent standard?

- Women can do all of the above outside of SF.
- The standards do in fact exist for SF.
- Good faith attempts have been made worldwide to integrate females into SF - they failed.
- The weakest physical link can get a unit killed.
- Outmoded? I doubt you know anything about combat arms; so how would you know what is outmoded? Almost every corp in the military has at some time been called outmoded by people who do not know squat about the military - the USMC, ARMOR, infantry, SF, manned aircraft were called outmoded until the next war showed that an 'outmoded force' is exactly what you need.
Not to change the subject , but are you ex-military?
I have dealt w/ SF operators and they are far more impressive in the movies than they are in real life. They mainly exist to perform the "dirty jobs" that require specialized skills and a uniform to be worn in case they are caught.
That way they won't be executed (usually) when things go wrong, unlike spies.
- Really? What your source of information on this?
- I'm aware of the standards used by the SF.
- Which "good faith attempts" have these been?
- Really? The weakest link in the chain command has killed far more SF's than team members. Hardly a valid argument.
- No, I don't. Do you? Does anybody? Who knows what the future will hold
In 25 years, most things that people think will seem "quaint." In 50 years, they'll likely be proven wrong.
