The universe and life is an unequal place. Anyone hoping for equality is waiting for pipe dream.

Gulf war- Think that chart was tracking deaths of all those that fought in gulf war.

No it’s equity in privileges, not in responsibilities.

Ukraine is fighting for their literal lives. How many females are they using in combatant roles?

Next do higher education, sports, suicides, murders, and workplace accidents and deaths.

58,212 American men died in the Vietnam war.
Only 8 American females died.
Females are vastly superior warriors.

Women have never and will never be real warriors. If they were any good at they would have been doing it at some point over the past 6000 years of recorded history.
Look at pictures from the Ukraine War. Women are sewing uniforms and nary a one to be found on the front lines.
If we’re being honest with ourselves they don’t really belong in the military at all. Their presence brings problems and extra expense for no value gained.

Okay...I've got to say something here. This is patently false. While certainly it has been overwhelmingly men who have shouldered the majority of martial combat, there have most definitely been fierce and capable females who have waged war over the centuries.

Xena: Warrior Princess had a nice little run.

Yes, but even in fierce, martial societies, such as vikings or celts,women warriors were few and far between.
In our society, even a lot of males are too soft for combat.
Given the huge, bureaucratic nature of the US military, women certainly have a place, but it is not frontline combat.
Kudos given to Boudica, Joan of Arc, and other women warriors through the ages, but they are not the norm - in any society or culture.

Well sure, but that doesn't mean they didn't exist at all. Hell the Night Witches were famously brave.
Or are we only talking about melee combat?

They’d have to call a 5 day timeout every month

Even in non melee combat they’re so few and far between that the only reason they’re talked about at all is because it’s like a neat little novelty.
As for the Russian units like the Night Witches, yes they were used sparingly in WWII because Russia was literally running out of men to send to the fight. The question shouldn’t be “If women can’t be warriors then why did Russia use them in the greatest war ever?” but rather “Why hasn’t Russia used female combat troops since WWII?”
