It's obvious to me that the author has spent a lot of time considering the role of women in the military. He raises valid points of discussion and methods to overcome a female's physical attributes that are lacking when compared to a male's. Note, I am not saying that the differences are deficiencies per se, but differences in strength, height, stamina, etc., are established realities. Kratman addresses the differences with logic and solutions that make sense in the real world. I enjoyed the book and look forward to reading the next in the series
