>>1471561The reason why no civilization used women as soldiers was twofold.
Women are physically weaker and less aggressive than men making them worse soldiers.
The other reason is because women are the bottleneck of reproduction.
Women need 9 months to give birth, men only need a few minutes to impregnate a woman.
Since a single man can theoretically impregnate hundreds of women, the man is more expendable than the woman.
These factors make it so that your nation would practically be committing suicide if they were to enscript the female population.
The only reason it would make sense is in an all or nothing situation, which I guess it is in this case.
