Speaking of being “interested in credibility”… It will suffice to say that if commanders could have armed cattle they would have, if that would provide additional usable troops. If Disney's “Sorcerer's Apprentice” could have put swords into the hands of his marching servant brooms instead of water buckets - y' know? The point being that apart from the (very) odd exception, if women COULD be warriors they certainly didn't lack for chances to prove it. What they proved, everywhere and always, was that they are NOT - though this awareness does not follow the current Party line and is therefore doubleplus crimethink.

Yet women certainly are not helpless.
