In the article " Sisters in arms," James Dao informs readers that the military is lifting the banning on woman in combat. In 2001, the wars in Iraq and Afganistan has changed the milatries needs.
Today, women make up about 15% of the 1.4 million active-duty in the U.S millitary. There are people who support this but htere are people who have there worries. Such as the millary is skeptism about womens abilities in active duty.
The military worry about the mental and physical abilites in active duty. They worry about the image the coonatations the milatary will have when a women returns from the war dead and they also worry about the standards would be lowered or people to join the milatary to accomadate the women.
Greg Jacob is a former U.S Marine officer who supports the change said" If the best shot in the platoon is a woman, I can make a snipper. But untill now I coudnt do that."
Other countires have already took that step in allowing women in combat, what took us so long?Women have been proving they are capable for so long and men still dont get it. We are equal and deseve to be treated as that.
We do not want to sit in the house and gossip all day . We want to take the world by storm and see the world. We want to show the men that whatever they can do , we can do as well. My aunt is in the army and she told me that men often often throw sexist comments but when she is out on the field they stare at her in awe.
As young lady myself I want to show the world that I am capable of handling the big dogs and will get dirty with them as well to stay on top.
