Wasn't complaining about action girl (I said "
mostly secondary" to the list as a whole, not every job on the list). Unfortunately, radar operation and military intelligence are often viewed as secondary jobs compared to, say, navigation or weapons control, by both creators and fans, especially in such a genre and despite the great importance of those tasks in reality. More broadly and more importanty, percieved job importance doesn't always equal role importance in a fictional work (poor choice of words on my part when I said "secondary functions" -- I should've said "perceived secondary jobs"), but it happens often enough. One doesn't expect the nurse to be the hero in this genre. And no one wants to be Mr./Mrs. exposition.

Probably for the best given the nature of the series.
