Telling a Story of Feminine Heroism

Gayle Tzemach Lemmon, a senior fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations and the author of “Ashley’s War: The Untold Story of a Team of Women Soldiers on the Special Ops Battlefield,” wrote a story in The Washington Post this week titled “The Army’s all-women special ops teams show us how we’ll win tomorrow’s wars.” In the story, she relays how, “Along the way, the men who run our military realized that they would never kill their way to the fight’s end. And they recruited women to help fill the security gaps they saw. But even as our conversations about women in war still frequently seem to focus on what jobs women are capable of doing or should be allowed to do, there’s been insufficient recognition of what women have already done.” This is going to be the narrative the social engineers use to force the women’s issue. The women in the Cultural Support Teams and/or Female Engagement Teams operated right alongside the special ops guys and grunts and were huge force multipliers — even earned awards for the great things they did. As well they should. But, to the social engineers, this proves all Military Occupational Specialties should be open to women. To us, it does not. Men and women should serve different roles and are not simply interchangeable. That doesn’t mean men are “better,” but it does mean they’re better suited to combat roles.
