Joan of Arc (Jeanne d'Arc; 1412-1431) is said to be probably history's first military heroine.
She fought remarkably bravely against the English occupier for France led by Charles VII.

Now, France may have a female President, Germany has the female Chancellor, Britain had a female prime minister, and the U.S. has the female Secretary of State who has an institutional chance to act as a President in case.
These are the facts; however there might be a type of male soldiers who would fight against those who would employ female soldiers, officers, generals, or politicians, as a matter of the highest priority.
Only for the reason and the principle that they cannot accept female warriors, they may fight those who are against their principle before starting to take on any other enemies, including modern age's terrorists.
The cause might be justified by Spirits who have governed development of the human species from the far past to the unlimited future.

Give them better jobs and wages, and there will be no female soldiers in the human world.
Globalization of economy seems to be cool and very cool to such an idea.

Money and economy might be a true enemy for the human species.
Mankind had been well living for three million years (or at least 150 thousand years since Mitochondrial Eve) without money and economy.
But, now they are driving the human species to the animal sphere where no distinction, for example, between a female wolf and a male wolf in terms of attacking its enemy or a prey.

If Joan of Arc had been holy, what was Europe around 1430?
Probably, you might be able to predict, in 1430, coming wars such as WWI and WWII in Europe.
Similarly, what can you foresee with those statistics on the War on Terror?
Coming wars such as WWIII and WWIV in the whole world?
I will, in any cases or scenarios, fight for my cause and principle before taking on any guerrillas on any continents, islands, and space.
