Maggie Thatcher could, and did.
Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher launched a naval task force to engage the Argentine Navy and Air Force, and retake the Falkland Islands by amphibious assault. After combat resulting in 258 British and 649 Argentine deaths, the British eventually prevailed and the islands remained under British control.
So the answer to your question is yes, theoretically. Unfortunately, I do not see any female politicians of Thatcher's caliber running for the US Presidency in 2008

do not understand in case you spotted, yet a woman admiral is the superintendent of the U.S. Naval Academy. And a woman Marine standard as quickly as commanded the Marine Recruit Depot at San Diego. There are additionally woman generals interior the army and Air tension in fee of substantial instructions as properly. No reigning Queen of england has had a place interior using Royal forces with the aid of fact the time of Elizabeth I. and that i think the Spanish commanders who confronted her troops did not think of of her or her troops having a "softer area". fairly to the alternative!

Yes- keep in mind that any woman who would be running a country would not be a teenage girl complaining about breaking her nails. She would be accomplished and professional and have experience in many tough jobs with authority decisions. The benefit out of having a female president is that although she would be able to make the tough decisions and take action where needed she wouldnt take action just for the sake of doing it - or where other solutions may be available just for the sake of looking like a masculine tough man.

If the unthinkable is reading her mind, she will ASSume that all men can do so and then get pissed when they don't.
If you mean drop a much needed bomb, I would certainly hope so. Gender should not be a factor in making major strategic warfare decisions.

Commander and chief has the power to take it up a notch be it male of female. Let's hope we never find out the answer to this question of anyone taking it up a notch.

Yes, she could give the order but it would be unlawful to demand sex from her Marine Security Detachment. While we know marines lower their standards, if you're talking about the current front runner, I think even they would legally disobey the order.

No, it's written in the Constitiution that only a male president has the rights to do this! What are you thinking? Where is your reasoning? I don't think a female will ever become president, but if one does she will have the same rights and ability to deploy the military to do whatever it is we need them to do.

I think it's a no by default. If a woman was elected president, this country would go to pot quicker than a rabbit gets ******, pretty much not enough time reach that level.

Define unthinkable.
I can justify doing just about anything.
And couldn't a male give the same order?

Apparently it is "thinkable" and anybody who is cool headed enough to not do a knee jerk push the button is the right choice in today's madness.
