Women in combat is not an unusual thought nowadays. However, it is causing people to have mixed emotions. Women should not be allowed into combat just to equalize sexs. They should be allowed in combat provided that they past the mandatory tests. “Women constitute about 14% of the 1.4 million active military personnel” (Jim). Many people do not want women in combat because they do not think it is fair for women due to them not having the same physical ability, mental ability, or the fact they…

Sometime ago say 27 years ago, I had the privilege of being a part of a huge group of people who needed to get a huge project done by a certain date. This was a Navy project, for a new transient housing building. Just some back ground of what this was. In the military the men and women are always being sent to places for a short time for training, while at these different bases as they are called the men and women have to have a place to stay. Most of the time they will stay in what is called…

I chose Do women in combat weaken armed forces because my dad’s in the military. I want to go to the Military but there's a lot of sexist things about women, so I thought that I should write a paper about it. I want to see how many people agree with me. Women go forward for every duty, including combat. A few of the public objections raised to this decision were met with derision other than argument. To the point that strength continues to matter, some women can meet requirements and should be…

positions that men are, according to Military Times, over 220,000 jobs are still not available for women, most of the jobs being in “Army and Marine Corps infantry and armor units.” CNN mentions that “The strongest opposition comes from Special Operations forces. In December 2015, 85% of them believed women should stay away from Special Operations jobs altogether (and 70% opposed serving with them in individual units, citing their inferior mental and physical strength).” There are approximately…

In Elizabeth Browning’s pleading letter to Napoleon III, Elizabeth uses many rhetorical devices in order to convince the Emperor of France to pardon Hugo. She flatters His Majesty Napoleon III in an attempt to win his goodwill. Second, she uses syntax in order to create an intelligent letter. Finally, she thoroughly explains her purposes to Napoleon. Thus using flattery, syntax, and logos, Browning was able to effectively persuade Napoleon III to pardon Hugo,had of course he sent the letter.…

men as soldiers, men as protectors we consider war itself as violent as well as the men participating (Youngs, 2004, p.85). The military and nonconventional forces are therefore heavily masculinized. To understand why rape is used as a weapon of war, it also important to understand the context in which masculinity in militaries and armed forces develops but also understand the concept of hegemonic masculinity. By having a clear understanding of masculinity we are able to gain a better…

is that women have already been in combat and these feminist groups assert that the current exclusion of women is a form of sex discrimination. While it is true that women have in been in a firefight, these women on the ground are mostly auxiliary forces serving as medics or liaisons with female civilians. However, the idea of placing women in direct combat in an infantry position is a different question altogether. This is not about women operating tanks or mounted turrets nor about women…

is usually made up of the armed forces and the police force. The amount of reliance on the two institutions is decided by the autocrat. Both, Egypt and Chile, were police states to the core. The National Intelligence Directorate (DINA) of Chile and the police force in Egypt, were both created to defend from opposition. The Marxists/socialists in Chile were ruthlessly hunted, as was the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt. On the surface these were the main objectives of the forces, but both presidents…

In Molly M. Ginty’s article “All Guts, No Glory”, she explores the issue of women serving in combat and the unfair reality that females have faced in the U.S. armed forces. In my opinion I strongly believe that women should be allowed to participate in combat. Many reasons why are if she signed up for this and has all the right training for it she should be allowed to go into war and fight for our country the same way men do. Women put their life at risk the same way males do getting shipped out…
