I don't see it as necessarily better.  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...
