Characters were built up more to accommodate…

Phyllis Schlafly states, “Putting women in military combat is the cutting edge of the feminist goal to force us into an androgynous society” What Schlafly really means is that having women in combat will help fulfill their goal of becoming equal to men. So, putting them in front-line combat roles shouldn't take them away for their eagerness to be a part of the army , simply because of their gender.

Throughout Europe many nations began to establish covert operations to gain access to the military secrets of their opposition. Germany was a nation that participated in this trend.

The military language consists of the use of acronyms and jargon. This is the use of slang unknown to people that are not a part of a specific group who speak a specific language or "code".

Women have always wanted the right to serve in the military. After fighting for the right to join, they are now worried that women are going to be brought into dangerous combat situations. I think that it is a good thing that women have the right to join the military. Also, I feel that I agree with women being able to choose whether or not they want to be in the military and that they can be put in combat situations. There are a few reasons why that I think this way. First, if we gave them the…
