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…

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…

A feminist perspective on conflict and war in Sierra Leone’s Eleven Year Civil War is useful because its sheds some light onto the hardships and struggles that both old and young women went through during certain times when war and conflict played a major role in their lives. A gendered view on war shows that during times of conflict most of the women take on roles of “male” and “female” when forced into combat. Women’s experiences in this war troubled country show to what extend women are…

Women have been participating in the military for quite some time. Originally only men were allowed to join the military. Throughout the years of women participation they have demonstrated that they are as competent or even better than men. Most society portrayed women as being weak and emotional but aren’t some men also like that. In 2003 it was a significant year for women because it allowed them to move into combat that formerly only men could. Jena McGregor a writer for the Washington Post…

Deborah Sampson changed her name to Robert Shurleff and dressed as a man in order to fight in the Revolutionary War. Her incredible stamina and tall stature allowed her to…

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…
