MOVIE POSTER: Gen. Bennet Sacolick Presents a New Kind of Special Operator Because "The Days of Rambo Are Over"

You really can't make this s*** up:

Special forces opening to women; ‘days of Rambo are over,’ general says

A top general says cultural, social and behavioral concerns may be bigger hurdles than physical fitness requirements for women looking to move into the military's special operations units... Maj. Gen. Bennet Sacolick, director of force management for U.S. Special Operations Command, says "the days of Rambo are over."

He says he has seen women working alongside special operations teams in Afghanistan who met difficult physical requirements. But he says the commandos usually deploy as small teams, often with a dozen or fewer troops, in austere conditions for long periods of time.

As long as the enemy agrees to a male/female ratio before any hand to hand combat, I'm OK with it.
