Not so sure. Your point seemed to be that one could be in the rear and serve effectively, to which I agree. We differ in that the past 10-15 years of US combat operations have had no defined front lines as you call it. There’s no sending daughters oversees with the expectation they will be safe. Safer perhaps than the grunts, but not safe as say a mechanic hundred of miles away from the front lines in a traditional land war.
