It occurs to me that women need to play a much bigger role in the 'defense' establishments of the various countries. Because they have to go through the actual child-bearing process, women feel a much closer connection to the children they bring into the world. They're much more loath than men to send them off to unnecessary death in some pointless war-- which most wars are.
Some wars-- really defensive wars-- may always be necessary, but far fewer than we have today. Will somebody tell me just what the bleep we're doing in Afghanistan after SEVENTEEN YEARS? You get the impression these generals just want these things to go on forever. Really! If there were more female generals and more female defense secretaries, we'd have far fewer wars. And that would be a good thing. Then we could spend all that money on something more useful.
