One thing I know about the military is this:
If an officer plans a military career and hopes to
advance to high rank, they need some
combat experience in their record.
Attending the military academies right after high school
damn sure doesn't hurt either.

I've always suspected that this is why women in the military
wanted to be allowed in combat. To have a chance to advance.
