war has always been gendered and coded as male with females positioned as caregivers and supporters — and most women aren't interested in combat roles. that being said, they do have interest in non-combat military roles.
women may not be as physically strong, but they're typically better at impulse control, situational awareness, etc.; % of women growing in surgery (precision), intelligence analysis, etc.

will be interesting to see if there is a shift, but also need to be mindful of employees at defense tech vs. actual enlisted military members. 3 replies
