Women in CombatEssay title: Women in CombatJohn ForbesEnglish Comp4/5/06Women in combatIn 1994, the Pentagon passed a law that restricts women from being in a direct combat zone. Right now there are many women in one of the biggest war zones ever, Iraq. Some females have been injured and killed while present in this combat zone. The military is violating not only the defense department regulations, but also the requirement to notify Congress when such a change goes into effect. Early next year, there is said to be a mixed-sex 3rd infantry going to Iraq. Women are risking their lives every day in a military that has specific laws stating they should not be in harms way. Should our military abide by the law and send less women if not any into combat zones, or should they continue to enhance our military by training women and shipping them to fight for our country?
When women go into combat this is a very real problem. We are being told that women in combat are being victimized and that there are no exceptions. Men in a military are being told these women are being abused. It goes back to the days when I was in a unit of about 50 women, most of whom had been married to men for many years. And even now many of these marriages are ending because the people who were married were in the military to get their family into the military and have a home life and I cannot get into a military because that’s where they’re from. But women are on the front line and they are doing it. In the last six years to date, the military has done a hell of a lot of hard work to allow women to work in the military. What it is not doing is giving women any time off with no pay. The military is not looking out for women. Some of them are still in the military and all in it. Women can’t get the benefits of work and a living at the same time to support the soldiers who are doing the fighting for us. There are certain jobs that it can do to improve the lives of those in the military. There have been a number of reports that troops in the last five years were sending women or providing them with food and protection. There are reports that soldiers are still sending people home in violation of their orders or in extreme poverty because of it. There can be no freedom for a pregnant woman in combat, or for a mother who suffers from pregnancy and child abuse. There have been reports saying it is too costly to send a child home with a pregnant mother in the field. It is not right and it is not good for our families at all. It would be nice to see a few more women in combat. But for the women who make that choice, it is the military where we make a hard decision: Should we send a woman to a combat zone in Iraq? Or should we send one to any other country where there is no law prohibiting them from entering the country? It seems to me that they are either not ready with that or they are still in the military but, as I understand it, we are not the military anymore. I want men to be a part of our military and it will continue to be a hard duty for our men to do. It is difficult for me to say that because my daughter was taken down off the front line when there was a lot of harm done to her father and I don’t know why anybody would take it easy on himself. I understand that the men are often going to be more comfortable in fighting for the country. I want them out in full light and the world goes to hell if a man is at risk. We live in this crazy, dangerous world that we live in. Our military and women here are not just fighting for the safety of our men or for military forces. We fight for you. There are other things that your men can do to help your country. Our military has a duty to you to help protect the country. So far, it has turned out that the federal government has made a lot of promises as a matter of principle. But there will come a day and a place where women become the next frontier of military power and we can no longer do that. So if it’s not right for you to be in the military now to combat, you will

Women have been fighting for equal rights to men for decades, but that battle is supposedly over. Men and women are said to be equal. Just as, Blacks and whites are equal. If a military woman has the same proper training as a man does and has served their country the same amount of years and are equivalent in ranks. Why could the woman not exceed in her mission just as much as the guy would? Some say women are more fragile than men, and they cannot take the pressure of combat. Any woman with the right amount of training could do just about anything a man can. Yes, some women are weaker than some men and not as fast. However, some men are a lot slower and not as strong as some women. If a man and woman have the same training and exercise daily they should be pretty even in endurance and flexibility. Therefore, men and women are physically equal. Now, about the pressure in combat. Can you imagine the pressure of being in a combat zone? Can you see your self sitting in a fox hole, hearing random explosions that are little by little coming closer, bullets flying by your head that is only protected by a little army helmet and the hair it covers, witnessing your friend screaming and yelling for his life to be taken for the pain of his wounds is to much to bear. Also, while this is happening you are responsible for accomplishing your mission you were looked upon to do. If that is not pressure, I donЎЇt know what is. The pressure of a combat zone would be a great deal to over come for anybody, male or female.
