#1 Three decades ago, when I graduated from the United States Military Academy at West Point, just 10 percent of the students in my class were women.

Which only proves after 30 years, the author still has no clue as to the actual mission and purpose of the US Military academies.

As far as the author's advocacy of 'Female Engagement Teams' (FETS); the creation of diaper wearing, non-RON (daylight only) FET teams in AFG were (may still be) a sad turn of events which resulted in maiming and death of many innocent young soldiers. The WIA/KIA issue matters little to 'social justice' warriors however.

#3 West Point was established to provide professional military officers and train engineers to build the country. It toss the latter mission sometime after WW2. The only degree obtained from the academy was an engineering degree prior to that.

#4 Looking at specimens like Stavridis, Clark, McRaven, Turner et al, a few more women couldn't be any worse.
