Women in Combat?
"The reality is that there is absolutely no intelligent, logical, sensible reason for women not to be in combat roles with the technological style of warfare that abounds today." Women in the military can do anything a man can do? They have proven that over years that they worked diligently to show off what they can do. This is the twenty-first century, we have gotten over women being the slaves of the house. We got out chances in the 1970s and we proved them wrong. People do have a big problem with women going over and fighting for our country. They say these women should not be helping our men out standing next to each other in war. I think that women should have every right to fight over their for our countries.

 * Women should not be in the military because they think women should not be doing a man's job.
 * They might become infertile if exposed to radiation.
 * Women should not be in the military next to men because that just makes the men look weak like they need a girl out there in the field.
 * Women get sexually harassed and abused by some cruel men in the military.
 * Women that have a family at home will have harmful psychological effects from being too long away from their children.

Why They Should be Included
 Women have proved themselves over the years that they can do more than just cleaning and cooking.


 * In women, they have seen that they are suffering post-traumatic stress disorder at higher rates than the men are.
 * They have done some testing and found that women have more of a mental strength than a man does.
 * Women have worked themselves overboard to show how they can be in the military fighting next to the men.

 "You are either with us, or with the Enemy."

Hear it From Them
 More active roles in the armed services followed the fight for the Equal Rights Amendment.  Captain Rosemary Mariner noted, "...high-quality female recruits into non-traditional fields made the all-volunteer force possible."

Controversy about women's roles in the military, came about around in the 1970s. Over the years women have proven that they can serve for their country except for the positions that are classified as " direct ground combat".
