IMHO, Norway has the right idea when it comes to beefing up their Special Ops. Read on, and tell us what you think.
In 2014, Norway created the world’s first all-female special operations unit — out of necessity.
Beginning in 2001, Norway’s top special operations unit, the Forsvarets Spesialkommando, or FSK, played a tip-of-the-spear role in Operation Enduring Freedom, often working alongside Delta Force and Navy SEAL operatives. However, the FSK, like many all-male Western military units operating in predominantly Muslim countries, found itself disadvantaged when it came to one pretty major aspect of counterinsurgency: dealing with the local female population.

LTC (Join to see), That is what the article described as one of the reasons for having Female SOF. They think because they are women they will be able to be trusted more then the male soldiers. Did you read the article?

Way cool! Thanks for sharing! Viking women used to be a tough group that fought beside the men, so glad to see they are using all their skills again. This will make the all male units steam!

Col Rebecca Lorraine, The men can steam all they want to, but if one of these women save one of their butts from being shot off, they won't be steaming long. I would hope the are professional enough to see the advantages.

Save my butt one time and I will love you forever. Don't care if you are a male, female, or a dog! I have been saved enough times by Zoomies (USAF) and I even love them! LOL
