Woman in the Army


The article written by James Dao talks about the ban being lift on woman being allowed to fight in the army. For years they have been working as nurses, intelligence officers, and military police, etc. now they can finally be allowed to be in combat. Fight side by side with men.

The evidence in the article is facts and quotes. A fact that stood out to me was women are now allowed to fight in the army. It’s good they are now allowed to fight. They deserve to have a chance if they want to fight for our country.

This topic is for good conversation.  Like are women manly enough to go out there and sacrifice themselves for our country? Will people look at the army different when women die? There would also be women are just as equal to men, and deserve to do what they want. I think it’s good they can now be in the army. They can have the same chances as men. America is finally changing.

I can connect this with when women weren’t allowed to go to school and have a job. Women for many years did not have many of the same rights as men. They were only supposed to be housewives. Now America is finally seeing that women can stand be independent and be equal to men.

  1. Do you still think America has more progress to make? Have you ever been judged or held back from something because of your gender? 90
