Sane MEN would do just as well. Power-hungry women would do just as poorly. The military mind-set is a powerful influence, and can be just as ingrained as any racist or sexist upbringing. Unfortunately, most highly ranked military leaders think the same way (though not necessarily because they're MEN). Actually, I'd just as soon not have ANYONE making major decisions involving military action... "Men are MORE emotional than women... It clouds their thinking." -R.A. Heinlein Scott J. Berry
