Women Join the Army

The article "Sisters In Arms" by James Dao is about women joining the army. Some people disagree with this and some think  is good to finally have women in combat.

In the article it talks about how women went to the army but not to fight, to help or works as medics and other jobs. In the article it says that people questioned if women will be able to do the physical stuff the men can do such as, "wearing heavy armor and carrying packs that can weigh 100 pounds". The article also says that what if women choke when it come down to shooting/killing someone.

I don't think that women wont choke when it comes down to shooting/killing someone, because the women know what they singed for. They know they have to kill. I think that women is ready for the physical challenges. It would be a good thing to have women fight with the men.

My step dad was in the army before. Back then women wasn't allowed to fight with the men. So this is a major change in the U.S. I have thoughts of going to the army. I think it would be good experience to fight with women. Hear what they would have to say about ideas in combat. Like a woman's view of things.
