I have been. In fact, that's something I'm well known for doing on CC. My previous assertions were not "an idea" but rather a statistical reality.
Unlike you, I know where to go to find statistics and am trained to work with them. Go to the DMDC website which is the organization responsible for collating all personal, manpower, training, financial, and other data for the Department of Defense (DOD):

Fact number one: The U.S. military is an all-volunteer military which no one presently is compelled by law to join.
Fact number two: A far greater number of men join the U.S. military than women and presently compose a far greater percentage of the U.S. military than women. As of April, 2015 there were a total of 1,312,429 officers, enlisted, and cadets/midshipmen in the U.S. military. 201,315 of them were women (15.34%) and 1,111,114 were men (84.66%).
Fact number three: The number of women joining the U.S. military has been steadily increasing and the percentage of women in the U.S. military has increased for this reason.
Fact number four: The number of women being promoted through the ranks of the U.S. military, PER CAPITA, has increased at a rapid rate while the nation was involved in the Iraq War.
View the 'Table of Active Duty Females by Rank/Grade and Service' for April 2015 (it's a downloadable pdf). Notice that the very top Rank/Grades of the U.S. military are: 010 = 8.1% females and 009 = 9.3% females. In the year 2000 it was 0 and 1 respectively. The lone female in the 009 position was the highest ranking female in the U.S. military. In fact, every officer Rank/Grade has dramatically increased over the past decade and a half and did so during war time when the vast majority of women in the U.S. women were NOT in combat roles (e.g. fact number five).
Among the enlisted ranks, women were most represented in the medical (30.5%) and administrative (30.1%) specialties. They made up about 17% of supply units, 14% of communications staff and 10% of electronics technicians. Health care was the top field for female officers, at 39%. They made up nearly 28% of administrative officers, 19% of intelligence officers and 18% of supply officers. In the Navy, 46% of all female officers were in the medical field.
Again, these gender percentages have a context and that context is to the aggregate population of all U.S. military personnel first and foremost and then by officer or enlisted and then by Rank/Grade. And this is all in the context of other contexts.
My assertions were all valid and supported by the published empirical data of the DMDC. But when you said "only 7% of the top ranks in the military are staffed by women" what you omitted was that is a substantial increase over what it was about a decade and a half ago (e.g. 1998) and that the number of women being promoted through the middle ranks has been fast tracked resulting in a radical increase in a short period of time and some of these women are on their way to the top positions which will further balance out the present situation even as it has already in a time of war not peace in which women were greatly restricted from serving in combat roles.
As I stated, let's get a 50/50 ratio on the battlefield and not just in the rear with the gear. It's time to force women into combat at the same rate as men. We want real equality, after all.
P.S. I went ahead and took the liberty of not quoting your post of #614 due to the disgusting ad hominem, screed, and unrelated false assertions that you interjected into it because your character is flawed. I chose not to include it, of course, in the hopes of encouraging you to take your own advice and develop a "sound mind."
