British Armed Forces

Throughout history women have held significant roles in the military. These positions were strictly support based, for example nurses and clerks. According to an article called Women in the Military, “nearly one-fifth of the armed forces today is made up of females”. (women in the military). Over the years the roles and the amount of women who served has changed dramatically. According to Women in the Military, “during World War I there were roughly 23,000 women who severed in the military. That…

This type of article was common. The soldiers saw us as playing at war…” However, Australian women made a great effort on auxiliary service. Most commonly, women’s roles in the armed force were clerical but they also had an ability to involve traditional men’s roles, as truck and ambulance drivers, or aircraft ground staff. As nurses in the war, they were the ones in most area where Australian troops were sent. By the end of the war…

Imagine being in a combat situation; under direct fire from the enemy. Then a bullet the size of a baby carrot strikes you in the thigh. Unable to move with blood gushing from the wound, you look around at your squad members. Private Johnson on your left is a short yet broad fellow and Private First Class Jennings is on your right, a petite, yet athletic female. With all your combat gear you weigh in at roughly two hundred and twenty-five pounds. Given your choice of squad member, who would…

When you hear the word “America”, what comes to mind? Some may say freedom, American football, or Donald Trump. But, how often does “military” come up? From a list which compiled the top words that people used to describe the United States, “military” ranked #30 - behind the more popular words “opportunity”, “diversity”, and “ignorant” (POV). This is an interesting detail considering the United States boasts the biggest military in the world and is notorious for its grandiose military budget.…

my research, I found that the United States Navy is larger than the United States Coast Guard. It has 325,000 active members, 107,000 reserve members, 272 deployable combat ships, and 3,700 air crafts in active service. The Navy is a “war fighting force”. They occupy other countries to defend international waters. The crew members…

What is my sensible view of what is and is not important ofChilderen soilders , Ivery am stunned and disturbed by it. Children should make the most of their life playingoutside,eating sugary snacks,watching toon, playing with toys, playing sports, making large, very secure places in the house usings covers and an electric lamp as a light. At the point when theword"soldier" strikes a chord many people think about a solid, brave adult who is fighting fortheir nation. Many people think about a…

it is about capability- not gender, and men can be equally incapable as women. Primarily, it is all about capability. Before one is allowed to join the forces, they are tested physically and intellectually. Should one be able to pass the knowledge test, and be able to withstand the wrath of physical training- the should be permitted into the forces. Would you rather have a scrawny, unhealthy make serve your country? Or a strong and healthy women…

how successful are armies that already allow women to serve in military combat. One of the most important militaries, where women aren’t only permitted to serve, but are required to do military service, is the IDF. IDF stands for the Israel Defense Forces, and “ it’s three things; it’s ground, navy, and air.” (Dobrzynki) Since the year 2000, after the amendment to military law, women are permitted to serve in any role of the military, including direct ground combat, and nowadays, the IDF is…

The Civil War became the first war where women could serve as nurses, and World War II was the first battle where women could work as any job except combat. The Women’s Armed Services Integration Act allowed women to have a place in all of the branches of the military, meaning they could now take on some combat positions, but with many restrictions. Females could not be ranked above lieutenant colonel, they could not make…

Bang, snap,pop! That is the sound of combat. Though some may think that women should be allowed to hold combat roles more than you might think are opposed. There are few separate living quarters, they have the potential to degrade a units combat effectiveness, and the decision will leave lots of children motherless. Women should not be allowed to hold combat positions. One reason that women should not be allowed into combat positions is the lack of separate living spaces. This is a problem…
