Brad Thor's "Athena Project" is a good read... it's about an extremely topsecret fourth squadron of delta force that is made up of all female operations teams. The storyline in the first book of the series ("The Athena Project" deals with things dealing with matter transporters that the Nazi's had been doing getting into the hands of bad guys) shows the kinds of jobs women in special ops are perfect to carry out, and gives a long list of all the reasons for such team using all women, and touches on some of the downsides as well. If i could loan it out on knidle i'd be willing to loan it so everyone could get a chance to read it.

Fuck being a hero. Do you know what you get for being a hero? Nothing! You get shot at. You get a little pat on the back, blah blah blah, attaboy! You get divorced... Your wife can't remember your last name, your kids don't want to talk to you... You get to eat a lot of meals by yourself. Trust me kid, nobody wants to be that guy. I do this because there is nobody else to do it right now. Believe me if there was somebody else to do it, I would let them do it. There's not, so I'm doing it.
