The gender inequality back then in the forces was not shocking, but now it is. I doubt there is no greater gender disparity than in the military. Why the brouhaha over women in STEM while never is a word spoken about the lack of women in the military? The Forces are in hurry to "genderfy" the top brass but where are the frontline military women ready to sacrifice their lives for their country like the men ?   
It's 2017 after all.
