Lady Godiva was a freedom rider,
She didn't care if the whole world looked,
Joan of Arc with the Lord to guide her,
She was a sister who really cooked,
Isadora was the first bra-burner,
Ain't ya glad she showed up?Â
And when the country was fallin' apart,
Betsy Ross got it all sewed up.

Trying to compare a 1940s Soviet woman to a modern day American woman is like comparing apples to T bone steaks...they have absolute nothing in common aside from sharing a singular characteristic
Do better.
I thought it odd comparing a sniper to close quarter combat odd.
Snipers do not go door to door...
What about women in the Israeli military. Do you think any of them can fight?

I ask because I've had some level of female boss almost my whole career.......it's been a crapshoot, have had 1 very good one, several competent ones and several that were just disasters.
I had one who was excellent, and two more who were better than average. I had two male directors who were better than average, many who were apathetic and uninterested, and two who were damaging to the division. I had a female VP who was just dumb, really dumb. She was a cheerleader who agreed with everything.
I had little interaction with VPs until late in my career. One thing that happened is divisions headed by a director were 400+ people in 1980 and ended up being about 80 on average, so VPs basically were the same as directors, with inflated salaries.
My first ten years or so my VP would not have known my name. By the end of my career he was inviting me to Christmas parties. I never went.

No.Â
Now, post entire all female units that compare to a minimum light infantry.

From 2015-2016...
August 28, 2019 - The Inside Story Of How The Army Reduced Standards To Get Women Through Ranger Training
PART 1... https://dailycaller.com/2019/08/28/femal...er-school/
PART 2... https://dailycaller.com/2019/08/29/us-ar...e-rangers/
... the most egregious departure from Ranger Schoolâ€s normally strict standards: the grading of candidates†training missions during the course itself. The [female] candidate was graded for her performance as the platoon sergeant for a nighttime raid. In non-training environments, the platoon sergeant is the senior enlisted soldier in the platoon, second in rank to the commissioned officer who serves as the platoon leader.
During dismounted operations, one of the platoon sergeantâ€s primary jobs is to account for all of the soldiers in the platoon, making sure no one is missing or left behind. In Ranger School, that role becomes even more critical at night, when the platoon is moving through dense terrain in the dark.
... she lost a member of the platoon. In fact, the missing soldier was so thoroughly separated from the rest of his platoon that the RIs had to shut down the entire mission, telling the platoon to go to sleep where they were while the RIs searched for the missing candidate. The platoon never had the chance even to attempt its assigned mission. But the candidate who had served as platoon sergeant, despite a failure in her performance that ended the mission, received a passing grade.
The following two exchanges took place after the nighttime patrol, when the instructors had just learned that the female candidate had received a passing grade. The reason for the incredulity expressed in the messages was that the female candidate had been graded in the platoon sergeant role, a grade based almost entirely on her ability to keep track of all of the members of her platoon as they moved through the woods.
According to multiple sources with firsthand knowledge, the candidate who became separated from the patrol was dropped from the course, as is standard practice, but the [female] candidate responsible for ensuring that he did not become separated advanced to the next phase.

Thanks for the assist... I didn't think the obvious had to be stated.

Who used the word “incapableâ€? Donâ€t move the goalposts just because you tried to make a nonsensical argument about a Soviet sniper
I used "incapable"... as in "women are incapable of leading men in combat."
To K9... no, all men are not cut out for combat. Did I state all men are fit for combat?
Carrying the feminist torch on this one... all it does is unnecessarily put lives in danger.

Again... women cannot lead men in combat. She was part of an all-female unit and she was not leading men.
