A new way to think about Special Forces

Since it can’t be decided in the United States whether women can be integrated into US Special Forces, I offer we copy an alternate solution being designed in Norway- all female SF units.  This can be a way to tap into a whole talent pool not being utilized without the argument that women can’t hack it with the men.

We can watch women fail in twos or threes out of courses that they haven’t been groomed for or allowed to compete in before, or we could give these women an entire community of their own and group to work with without the pressure of proving that an entire gender can actually do what only 1% of the other gender is capable of.

And the best part is they could be used for missions men would not be able to do.  Think about it. The possibilities are endless- we are only on the cusp of giant change.  Great idea, Norway.
